Sweet dates and jujube with floral pekoe notes. Full-bodied and velvety. Finishes with warm sweetness that reminds you of dried fruit on a summer day.
The pressed cake contains larger brown-green leaves with scattered buds throughout. Breaking pieces releases aromas of sweet dates, dried flowers, and pekoe with bamboo leaf notes. The compression is moderate, and the leaves show natural aging color changes from the four years.
The liquor steeps to a golden amber color. Opening infusions deliver sweet date flavors immediately with floral undertones. Middle steeps develop richer date sweetness with gentle jujube character and bamboo leaf freshness. The texture is smooth and mellow with medium body. The floral notes persist through later steeps, providing aromatic interest alongside the dominant date sweetness.
From Guanyang Town in Fuding City, this 2020 Shou Mei demonstrates moderate aging effects on the grade. Four years has deepened the date character while maintaining some freshness. Appropriate for drinkers seeking middle-ground aged whites with sweet, warming profiles.
