'''Shoumei''' is a [[white tea]] that is produced from naturally withered upper leaf and tips, with a stronger flavor reminiscent of lighter [[Oolong tea|Oolong]] teas. It is mostly grown in the Fujian Province or Guangxi Province in China. Because it is plucked later than [[Bai Mudan tea|Bai Mudan]], the tea may be darker in color, but it should still have a proportionate green color. Some lower grades of Shou Mei may be golden in color with a lot of black and red leaves, making a darker brew with more depth.
