Nothing could make the simple processing of white tea clearer than the first glance at the leaves of this Shou Mei: long, flat, many completely whole and opened, with scattered downy buds, they resemble nothing so much as the floor of a wild, distant forest. And yet the fabulous, richly-fruity aroma wafting off of them makes equally clear how specially cultivated they must be. Despite this scent and the visible oxidation, this Shou Mei is still quite young, and its flavour is fresh and clean, evoking clear rocky brooks in?the mountains where it was harvested; with subsequent steepings, as well as increasingly with age, the fruity sweetness of its aroma comes through, tantalizing the palate with apricot or quince.
