White Nectar is our Shou Mei (寿眉) white tea from Fujian, pressed into six individual biscuit-shaped pieces (approx. 25–28g total per tin). Shou Mei uses leaves that are larger than White Peony or Silver Needles — the trade-off is a more robust, brisk character with a hay-like quality and a honey-sweetness that comes through especially when brewed with hotter water.

Each tin features original artwork inspired by Tasmanian wildlife and native plants — choose from designs including Platypus, Wombat & Cub, Superb Fairy-wren, and Waratah & Bee. The tea inside is the same regardless of which design you pick, so go with whichever one you like best. It's one of our most approachable white teas and the tin makes it a thoughtful gift — the packaging does the work for you.

How it tastes

Brisk and fresh with a hay-like note, similar to Gong Mei but with a bit more body from the larger leaves. There's a mild sweetness that develops as you move through infusions. The individual pieces make portioning easy — one piece per gongfu session, or break one in half for a western-style brew.

A note from Joanne: "We made this as an affordable entry into white tea that also works as a gift. The biscuit shape means you just break off what you need — no measuring required. People often buy a few different tin designs at once for gifts."

Available at our Salamanca Tea Bar — come try before you buy.

Brewing instructions

Western brewing:
Use 1.5g of tea per 250ml teapot with 85-90°C (185-194°F) water. Steep for 3 minutes per infusion, allowing up to 3 infusions.

Gongfu brewing:
1 piece per 150ml gaiwan or teapot. Pre-warm the vessel. 95°C water, steep 40 seconds for the first 3 infusions, add 10 seconds from the fourth. Up to 6 infusions.

A note on weight

Each piece is hand-pressed in Fujian and naturally varies a little in size and weight. Pressed white tea also loses a small amount of moisture over time as part of its normal aging process, and drier climates like Tasmania's can speed that along. The weight listed is what you can expect to find in the tin. If yours seems noticeably off, drop us a line and we'll sort it out.

Storage

Store in the tin or an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Like other white teas, this will continue to mellow with time.

If you enjoy this, our Gong Mei White Tea 2020 is a similar style in loose-leaf form. Looking for something more delicate? Try our Silver Needles.

how good the product is
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Standard
These pillows are soft, fluffy, and surprisingly supportive for the price. They’re comfortable no matter how you sleep — whether on your side, back, or stomach — and they maintain their shape well overnight without going flat. The fabric cover feels smooth and breathable, keeping things cool through the night. After a few days of fluffing and use, they settle nicely into a perfect medium firmness. They also wash and dry easily without clumping. Overall, a great‑value pillow set that offers comfort, versatility, and quality — ideal if you need an affordable yet cozy bedding refresh.

Firm and comfortable
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Standard
These pillows are well made. Firm, yet comfortable. I am pretty rough with my pillows. I toss and turn frequently. After one year, they are still holding up.

Quite good. I am actually surprised. Too small for queensize
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
These pillows are actually good. After reading a ton of reviews I pulled the trigger on these. I was 100% sure I was going to receive bad quality pillows (too flat or too thick). They do take 24-48 hours to firmen up. Let's see if they flatten out in a few weeks or if they hold up. My wife said the pillow was too thick and it raised her head too much. I don't agree, I sleep perfect on these, no neck pain in the morning. Update 04/24 These are actually quite small to be considered queen pillows. They have become firm over the last few days.
