About This Tea
What does Charcoal-Dried Shoumei: Comparison Box taste like?
This unique comparison box offers two versions of Shoumei, highlighting the subtle yet profound differences imparted by charcoal versus oven drying. Expect a delightful interplay of nutty roasted pean. It leans nutty, sweet and woody.
How should I brew Charcoal-Dried Shoumei: Comparison Box?
Water around 75–85 °C (167–185 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 4–5 g per 100 ml, 20–40 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Pretty forgiving. Oversteeping by a bit won't ruin it the way it would with a green.
Where does Charcoal-Dried Shoumei: Comparison Box come from?
Grown in Fujian, China. This batch is from the 2022 harvest. The leaves got a light roast after picking.
How much does Charcoal-Dried Shoumei: Comparison Box cost?
Starts at $20.00 from One River Tea, or about $1.43/g. A 14g package gets you around 2 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $8.58 per session. Explore more white teas on Teadar.
