Default Screen dump of Chinese tea names

You are correct. The character for Shou is:

I incorrectly used the character from ChunMee which is an equivalent
trading term.

Also Oriental Beauty is missing the last character as you pointed out
in another post:

My Rosetta Stone file has many variations of characters and
translations for tea terms. For the sake of brevity I show the one
that I think is the most helpfull. As I said before this was my first
attempt at transcribing some of it and I learned what NOT to do the
next time.

Thanks,
Jim

Noticed one more thing -- shoumei (or sowmee in your romanization) has
the wrong character for the first one. Right now it is Õä, zhen,
which means precious, but it should be ‰Û, longevity. I presume
you're referring to the white tea.
