Just to add, there are premium versions of baimudan that are one bud and one leaf, and some shoumeis also contain buds. There's also the oft-forgotten gongmei (tribute eyebrow) grade which is almost the same as baimudan, but picked in the autumn. Gongmei is very often sold off as baimudan for the increased market value of the name, though.

You crack me up! Some are so serious in their videos but I like that you stay light hearted and yet still have good info.

I can relate to the idea of how white tea can be misunderstood.
I have quite a bit of Shou Mei, and it’s so delicate looking, I just assumed a slightly lower temperature was in order, but boiling point is indeed the temperature to use.
To think, how much tea I under-steeped for nearly a year😫

Shou mei is my favorite kind of white tea ☕❤😊

White teas have become some of my favourites. I ordered some Aged Shou Mei from you yesterday. Looking forward to giving it a brew. :-)

It shouldn't be boiled. Please clarify

My uncle runs a tea factory in Fuding. As far as I know,  premium aged Shou Mei should have a taste of dates.
