Full Description

This traditional single serving pressed white tea (5gram each), shaped as a tea biscuit, brings together two celebrated treasures of southern China: aged Shou Mei white tea from Fuding and authentic Xinhui aged mandarin peel (Chen Pi) from Guangdong.

Produced in Fuding, the Shou Mei leaves are carefully compressed into convenient individual tea biscuits together with pieces of aged mandarin peel. This traditional pairing has become increasingly popular among tea enthusiasts for the way the two ingredients complement one another during aging. In China, aged mandarin peel is treasured for its health benefits of aiding digestion, while aged white tea is known for anti-inflammatory. 

The robust character of Shou Mei provides a rich foundation of honeyed sweetness, dried fruit, and mellow wood notes, while the aged mandarin peel contributes a subtle citrus fragrance and aromatic finish. Over time, the flavors gradually integrate, creating a tea that is both comforting and complex.

Whether you are new to aged white tea or already a collector of compressed teas, this Shou Mei and Aged Mandarin Peel Tea Biscuit offers a convenient and rewarding introduction to one of China's most beloved tea pairings.
