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.

Great Mechanical Self-winder
Color: Black
Wow! So far I have only adjusted the time three times over the last few months. So far It keeps great time and looks good. Well worth the money after having blown a few dollars on less expensive mechanical watches that fail after only a few months of use. This thing is very good!

Beautiful
Color: All black
Having never previously owned a self-winding watch, and because the wristband did require some link-removal adjustment, I did hold off on wearing it for a few days until I could schedule an appointment with my jeweler to have the day/date setting and band-adjustment done. But a major part of my reason for doing so was my strong impression upon receipt of the watch that this was a very good choice. It is a very beautiful watch to look at, though compact and not overly bulky like many chronograph-style watches, its' heft conveyed a sense of a very solid, well designed and constructed watch. Since having the setting and adjustments done, I have been extremely pleased with how accurately it keeps time. In short, I LOVE this watch. I will also note this. Though my jeweler retails various high-end, and much more expensive watches, he was clearly impressed with the look and feel of this watch, and even made explicit comment about what a beautiful watch he felt it was. That said, I do have a quibble. The writing of the accompanying instruction booklet was riddled with English grammatical errors which were quite frustrating, and contributed to my reason for opting to have my jeweler complete the settings and adjustment. Also, when I contacted OLEV online to solicit guidance on how to expedite registering the purchase for warranty purposes, I received an email auto response saying that any Amazon purchase would require customer service and other guidance through the seller. Since my assumption upon Amazon purchase was that I WAS purchasing from OLEV as the seller, this remains a source of confusion which I yet need to resolve.

Doesn’t keep accurate time
Color: All black
I bought this for my husband because it said that it self winds but my husband noticed that it didn’t work within the first few days so I thought maybe it was defective so I purchased another one in exchange for the first one but the second one had the same issue. Don’t waste your money on this, it doesn’t work.
