This thin wafer pressing from the Wu Family has been beautifully aged to bring out the deep rich spice that fine Shou Mei develops over time. The tea is pressed into single-steeping wafers. The thin wafer helps all of the tea steep more evenly, while also protecting it for long term aging. The Wu Family’s commitment to biodiversity and allowing their tea bushes to grow more wild and natural without trimming or other intervention really shows in the complexity of the aroma and texture.
