Product Details

This unique aged white tea originates from Fuding, Fujian Province, crafted in 2015 through an innovative fusion of traditional Shou Mei white tea and fragrant osmanthus blossoms. The tea is skillfully compressed into small round cakes, blending mature Shou Mei leaves with osmanthus flowers to create a harmonious balance of aged tea richness and natural floral sweetness.
Each compact cake contains approximately 5-7 grams of precisely blended material, making it ideal for individual servings. The dry cake showcases a beautiful mix of dark tea leaves and golden osmanthus petals. When brewed, it yields a deep amber liquor with a warm, complex aroma blending honey, dried fruits, and the distinctive sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers. The taste is smooth and mellow, with layered flavors of aged white tea's herbal sweetness perfectly complemented by osmanthus's apricot-like notes—a combination that deepens with each infusion.
