2016yr Shou Mei Aged White Tea Cake-Fuding Chuan Cheng White Tea Cake - 100g/3.52oz

A good tea by itself, but I would personally prefer a stronger aroma

This white tea is decent if you consider that I paid $10 for 100g. I have done better but this is not a bad deal. It is a "nice" tea, but does not knock our socks off. For the money, I can't complain, but I also can't give it any more stars than 4. If you are looking for cheap and decent, this will work fine. An amazing 10 year old white tea will run you 4 to 5 time the price. That puts this one at a "good" value.

I love this aged white tea. I had another one from amazon that was very dry, and not much flavor at all…Boy, was this one different! The flavor is rich, liquor is thick and delicious, and it holds both gongfu and western style. Give it a try!

The aroma is strong enough you smell it through the paper. Very pungent and sharp that peaked my curiosity even more so. Impressed with the packaging. They put it inside a sealed bag you can store to keep from light and potential moisture. the bag also has the English label. The cake is about 4 inches in diameter. Full leaves, dark color similar to Puher leaves. (supposedly aged for 8 years) you CAN tell it is aged because the leaves maintain a "dry" texture even after steeping. They don't get "spongy" they remain stiff.Tea liquor is very light at first in color and clean. The sharp aroma pulls through the flavor profile. It is an earthy sweetness, but with a tangy punch due to aging. Unique profile for a white tea. I've been on a white tea kick for a while. This is a big contrast from a green leaf white tea like from Tian Hu Shan (also a good tea) For the price, it's very much worth the adventure. Not top grade, but definitely interesting. I would recommend this if you are a fan of aged teas. I have actually updated to add that I just purchased ANOTHER cake to store for the future.

Great body, smooth great tea for the price!

Amazing flavor, price, and quality and quantity.

Nice aroma, some aged flavor notes like leather and old books, 85C temp brewed very easy to drink. 90C had more flavor with some mild bitterness that I liked. Handled up to 95C

This is a little deceptive as it’s listed as a 2016 but it’s in fact a 2022. Overall this tea is good quality…very fragrant and sweet with hints of apricot and citrus overtones. No bitterness even after I over steeped it. I liked it enough to by 3 more cakes. I am going to buy a few more to age.
