Sourced from the wild mountain forests, our small-leaf Ku Ding is hand-harvested and sun-dried to preserve its natural purity and strength. Unlike the “bitter nail” variety, these leaves offer a smoother, more refined cup while retaining the traditional character of this prized herbal tea.
Renowned in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ku Ding supports healthy digestion, liver function, freshens the throat, and provides natural antioxidants. It brews into a clean, crisp infusion with a slight herbal bitterness balanced by a lingering sweet aftertaste, perfect for daily enjoyment.
Health & Wellness Benefits
Lao Shou Mei, known as “Longevity Eyebrow” tea, is prized not only for its mellow, naturally sweet flavour but also for its restorative qualities. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, white tea is considered cooling in nature, helping to clear excess heat and gently support liver balance. Rich in antioxidants, it is believed to nourish the body, calm the spirit, and promote healthy ageing.
Brewing Guidance
For the best experience, steep 3–4g of leaves (about one teaspoon) in 80–85°C water for 2–3 minutes. This tea can be infused multiple times, with each brew releasing deeper, more complex flavours. Adjust steeping time to taste — a shorter infusion highlights its delicate floral sweetness, while a longer infusion reveals richer, fruity undertones.
