2010 Fuding Shou Mei White Tea Cake

Unlike the silver needle and bai mu dan white teas, the leaves of this cake are more irregular consisting of different sizes of leaves with a small amount of buds. The raw materials are from a smaller type of tea plant called the 'cai cha' cultivar combined with large leaves from the 'da bai cha' cultivar.
