2022 Drunken Mulberry Garden Shou Mei Brick (醉桑園寿眉白茶砖, Zuì Sāng Yuán Shòu Méi Bái Chá Zhuān, “Drunken Mulberry Garden Shou Mei Brick”) – This beautiful old tree white tea brick gets its fanciful name from the patch in the mountains of Fuding, Fujian in which it is grown. Drunken Mulberry Garden is a Shòu Méi (寿眉, “Longevity Eyebrow”), the leaf-forward third grade of Fuding white tea harvested from old trees. At 500 grams, this is the largest denomination of white tea we’ve ever carried. At three years old, this tea has a creamy mouthfeel with butter and hazelnut notes. Its qi is pervasive and somatic, filling every corner of the body with an ebullient sensation. Due to its relative youth, it has a greater capacity for bitterness than more mature white teas. We find that starting it off at full temperature to open it up, then dropping the heat to 190-205F for the middle steepings (roughly steepings 2-5) before raising the temperature again in the later steepings keeps this tea from becoming too strong and delivers a rich, toothsome brew that can last for upwards of 15 infusions.

Igourmet.comWhite teas are typically not my favorite. However, this one has a pleasant mouthfeel and does not become astringent if you follow the steeping instructions closely and do very short steeps. I first had this in-person at their teahouse before buying 50g later during one of their sales. Smooth, even buttery, and fairly floral/sweet… like a berry. The wet leaves smell strongly like a jam! Note that steep time says 15s but I did about 6s.
Flavors: Berries, Buttery, Floral, Jam
