Jujube Shou Mei | White Tea Cake

200-gram cake

Tastes like dried, aged jujube fruit (Chinese dates). The dark leaves make a heavy body for white tea, but it still has that classic texture. The aroma is ripe and musty with a slight cherry and leaf-like presence in the cup. Buy one to age and one to drink now.

Produced July 5, 2021 by Mr. Zhou Sui Guo in Fuding County, Fujian Province. It’s a one bud, three leaf pick of the Fuding Big Hair cultivar growing at approximately 1,600 feet.
