Fuding Shou Mei White Tea Cake 2013 from TeaVivre
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fuding, Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5

I loved this. I love Shou Mei, and this was the first example of it I tried in compressed form. It was definitely one of the best samples of Shou mei that I've tried.
The dry leaf of this cake has a moderate smell of dried fruit, with a hint of fermenting fruit in there. It's not the most aromatic of TeaVivre's t...
Shoumei White Tea from Foojoy
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: China67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5

I love shou mei, a darker white tea, and I love Foojoy, so I was expecting to like this one, and I did. It's remarkably high quality for such an inexpensive tea bag. The only shou mei I've tried in tea bags.
This tea is surprisingly pungent, with the characteristic aroma of autumn leaves, and a hint of spice and p...
2009 Shou Mei (Sow Mee or Longevity Brow) from Life in Teacup
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5

I find white teas tend to darken with age, and this one is darker than current-year samples of shou mei I have tried in the past, but it still had quite a lot of green leaf.
This was one tea that I really had to brew before I noticed its quality...the dry leaf looks and smells relatively unremarkable, but upon brewi...
Special Grade Shou Mei White Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 14th, 2009
Deep reddish brown color, and very clear. More delicate than typical for a Shou Mei, but still fairly rich and full. Very smooth flavor; no bitterness, and a clean, cool aftertaste.
Unlike Upton's other Shou Mei's for which I found the brewing instructions to be right on, this one I like to brew differently. I br...
First Grade Shou Mei White Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 14th, 2009
Brownish leaves with some silvery and green mixed in. Light aroma of fall leaves and honey with some vegetal tones. Some astringency and a noticeably unpleasant sourness, although no bitterness.
Of Upton's 3 Shou Mei teas of similar price (see ZW62, ZW23), this is the one I like least. This one is much more simil...
Shou Mei Classic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 14th, 2009
Of Upton three Shou Mei's of similar price, this is my favorite. Leaves greener as Shou Mei goes. Aroma is fresh, clean and vegetal, perhaps even a bit grassy. Very rich aroma; this is the most aromatic of any Shou Mei that I've sampled. Less sweet than most white teas. My only complaint is a fair amount of astrin...

Season's Pick Shou Mei from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fujian, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 13th, 2009
This is one of the naturally sweetest teas I have ever tried, with an aroma of cinnamon, honey, caramel, and autumn leaves. Rich, warm, and very gentle. Absolutely no bitterness whatsoever...just a hint of astringency in the aftertaste.
This is one of 3 of Upton's Shou Mei teas of very similar price and I want to ...
