This cultivar is characterised by its large, greenish-blue leaves, which are not tipped and notably do not produce tea flowers (茶花).
The processing of Fo Shou involves multiple rounds of low-temperature roasting. After each roast, the tea is rested for several months before undergoing the next stage. Following the third and final roast, the tea is aged once more before it becomes available for purchase.
