- We love aged shou mei white tea for its floral warmth, sweetness, and medicinal aroma, especially on cold autumn and winter days. We always start brewing shoumei with gaiwan to understand the profile of the shou mei. After we get a little bit more familiar with it, we switch to brewing it in a kettle to enjoy its mellower and warmer qualities.
This is also the time of the year that we make mooncakes. We pair them up with our aged shoumei, and it's just delicious and comforting! What's your favourite way of brewing aged shoumei? Comment below! We would love to hear about your experience.
How do we brew it?
1. Gaiwan Brewing ratio: 1/24
5 g in a 120 ml gaiwan using 212 F water.
2. Transfer the same tea leaves to a kettle for boiling, we suggest 1/90 - 1/100 ratio.
5 g tea in a tea kettle with 450 - 500 ml of water.
When you boil tea, the ratio makes a big difference in how your tea will taste. If you are new to boiling tea, we strongly recommend that you start with our suggested ratio of leaf to water. If you are familiar with boiling tea, feel free to play by ear and adjust as you go.

Thank you for watching!
The white tea to be a rich natural source of antioxidants with a high level of flavonoids and polyphenols.
Love the kettle and heater, where can I get them? Gaiwan is beautiful too! Aged white tea is also my favourite so I love everything about this video.
Really appreciate your kind words! The glass kettle will be available in about a month, and I will do more reviews for the heater soon since it has pros and cons (just like many other things ^_*). How old is your aged white tea? And do you boil it too?
@@kongmountaintea387 honestly, I’m very much an aesthetics person, and your website is somewhere I frequent for it’s beautifully curated tea ware, so please keep doing what you do best!
I’m a lover of white teas in general, particularly larger leaf styles like gongmei/shoumei, although aged bai mu Dan is also something I cherish (blended with shoumei gives a great balance in my opinion of sweetness and depth). I really look for depth and complexity, and from my tastings I’d say 5 years and older is great. I’m yet to try truly “aged” white teas, but some of my favourites so far are from 2013, 2010.
I watched Global Tea Hut’s fantastic course on boiling tea, and have realised I’m not getting the most out of my favourite tea types , aged white and shu puer. I’m really excited to start that journey, and see sides to their personality I’ve yet seen!
Thank you for your beautiful and calming videos! I ordered a cake of the aged shou mei and can’t wait to try it. What brand the induction that you use to boil the water?
Hi! The electronic stove is made by a Chinese company called "San Jie". I plan to make a video to review it. The design is neat and is build with high quality. But the downside is that it does take at least 10 mins to boil water. We might carry a few models in the near future as they do make excellent electronic stoves ^_*
@@kongmountaintea387 well as someone that’s new to the actual authentic tea drinking, think I’m doing something wrong. I am able to smell the leaves but it comes out as just hot water I’m drinking, can’t taste any flavors. I get that you have to boil the water and rinse the leaves but how long do you steep?
@@tinahuttner7280 Hi! It depends on the type of tea that you are brewing. Different types of tea require different steeping time and temperature. What tea were you brewing?
@@gotCharacterscom fuding white cake tea,wish there was actual class I could go to,I live in Minneapolis.
@@tinahuttner7280 For Fuding white cake tea, the steeping time is 30 s or 45 s for the first few steepings because you want the boiling water to help open up the tea. And after the tea has been fully opened/steeped, then you could use boiling water and steep for 5 s or so. We are currently designing our tea curriculum behind the scenes. Hope to introduce a series of on line tea classes in 2021!
What is the song in this video. I like it
It's from The hunts - Travel ;)

How long does your kettle take to get to the boiling point, before the 2-3 minutes wait?
Hi! Sorry that I never counted the time before. As the kettle is made of glass, it generally gets boiled quickly. Glass transfers heats much faster than clay material. I guess the heating mechanism also has a great impact on the boiling time. I am working on reviewing the heating mechanism as many people ask about it. I will definitely record the time by then!
