Shoumei, or “longevity eyebrow” in English, is identified by its picking standard and its harvest time, being picked shortly after Bai Mu Dan (white peony). This shoumei is made with the floral and fragrant Shui Xian cultivar, and yields incredibly herbaceous notes at first, and becomes slightly more fruity with each steep.
