2016yr Shou Mei Aged White Tea Cake-Fuding Chuan Cheng White Tea Cake - 100g/3.52oz

This is not a particularly complex or interesting tea, but it is delicious and a good value. I think any tea drinker would like this, but gongfu aficionados would be better off buying from a specialty company.

Amazing taste and price. Looks like what’s on the picture and comes in the ziplock. Cake brakes off very easily. Soup is clean. Carmel, flowers, citrus.

Was looking for a white tea for less caffine, less teeth staining and have something to sip on in the moring when intermitten fasting. Ive never been crazy about white teas becuase they are normally fruity or flowery etc, which I dislike. I read up and saw this had bold taste and tasted more like a black tea. took the leap and I LOVE this tea. I didnt want to spend alot in the event I didnt like it and if I did I'd venture out for better next time however, Its aged and the best price for Shou Mei and dont see myself having to change. Its smooth not bitter, its not floral or fruity and great all around. Really nice.

I ran out of a favorite tea of mine that was a gift. It was called White Cloud and after some digging I found a tea store in Boston that sells something that looked identical... it was outrageously priced. I almost boght it but some further reading lead me to the geographical origins of the tea: Fuding, China. I then stumbled onto this tea and a few others from Fuding. This one visibly looked the most similar to the White Cloud I had. Always being open to trying new tea anyway I thought I would give this a try. While not as good as the White Cloud tea I had, the flavor profile of this tea is quite similar. Most likely it is from a similar cultivar. Considering the price, this tea is a relatively good bargain in quality. Like most white teas you should steep it with water around 185F for 3-5 minutes. It's good for around 2 uses, depending on how long you steep it. For those familiar with common silver needle white teas this has a considerably different flavor profile which you will either enjoy or not. Be open to other flavors or you'll be disappointed.

This tea is fantastic. Im gonna buy several of them. Its not like its gonna go bad LoL

I want to start by saying I am a fairly experienced gong fu tea fanatic and have been practicing this method for over five years. This is a mid/upper grade shou mei white tea, the value on this tea is incredible for the price. The liquor is a warm yellowish red and clear, indicative of a true moderately aged shou mei. The taste is full bodied, sweet with honey and jujube notes, and steeps well for me at 200f. The leaves seem more on the mature side, allthough the packaging states it was picked on the earlier of spring side (late April). I believe that this tea is a great daily drinker for newbies and experienced tea drinkers alike. Some amazon vendors use thin margins to move volume, which makes it great for consumers like us. Definitely a gem of a find, I highly reccomend this to those who love fuller bodied white teas.

This tea had an unpleasant funky note in it. It tastes like it was improperly stored next to seafood or other goods

This tea has a very refined taste like a wine. But the taste is unique that perhaps it is an acquired taste. Though it was very interesting to try. Personally I preferred more ripe puerh tea cake that I already reviewed. But this tea is worth trying to see for yourself.
