From Fujian province, this organic Shou Mei yields a delicate infusion with a slightly sweet flavor and a mellow, smooth finish.

I was surprised at the number of sticks that were mixed in with the leaves. Is this typical of this style? It made it hard to measure, so I had to make my best guess (I really need to get a scale).
I did three 2-minute gaiwan steeps of this tea. The first was almost too subtle. Sort of herby with a clean finish, but nothing really jumped out at me. The second had a darker liquor, with less herb flavor. The final steep seemed slightly more astringent (though not much) and had a bit more forest-floor-dry-sticks flavor.
Overall, I liked this but was not wowed. I’d recommend it for when you’re in the mood for something subtly warming and comforting.
