Gathered from mature leaves later in the season, Shou Mei carries a darker cast and bolder flavor than other white teas. Greater oxidation from the larger leaf, near 10 percent, develops warm honey, dried fruit, and autumn-leaf notes, with a caffeine near 18 milligrams. It ages exceptionally well and is often pressed into cakes for long-term storage and later appreciation. Da Bai and Shuixian material from mid elevations, picked in late spring and summer, gives a robust, easygoing white with some buds mixed among the leaves. Its affordability and depth make it a common entry point for those new to aged white tea.
