Origins & Cultural Heritage
“From Humble Leaves to Treasure: The Story of Shou Mei”
- Historical Roots: Shou Mei (寿眉), meaning “Longevity Eyebrow,” originated in Fujian’s Fuding region as a tribute to its twisted leaf shape resembling elders’ wisdom. Traditionally crafted from mature tea leaves, it embodies the Daoist philosophy of “wu wei” (effortless action).
- Pearl Revolution: In the 2000s, artisans began hand-rolling aged Shou Mei into pearls to preserve its aging potential – each pearl is a compact time capsule.
- Cultural Symbolism: Revered as “the people’s white tea,” Shou Mei represents accessibility and patience, maturing into complexity like fine wine.
“Why 2010 Shou Mei Pearls? Nature’s Concentrated Elegance”
- Aging Alchemy: 12 years of dry storage in Fujian’s bamboo-leaf-lined warehouses develop notes of dried honey, wild chrysanthemum, and aged parchment.
- Portable Perfection: Each 8g pearl brews 1L of tea – ideal for travel or office rituals.
- Zero Processing: No roasting or shaping – natural oxidation preserves raw vitality.
Brewing Mastery - Gongfu Style: 1 pearl in 150ml @90°C – 10+ steeps with evolving sweetness.
