Description

This is entirely 2012 spring harvested Gong Mei White Tea from Fuding area of Fujian. It was aged in a clean/dry storage condition until it was pressed on April 10th 2018, and then stored in Kunming thereafter.

The taste of the tea is ultra smooth and sweet with notes of malt, sugarcane and the slightest vegetal umami taste. It reminds me of a marriage of a tippy Yunnan Black tea and Bai Mu Dan. The aging has made this tea something beautiful to experience. Very thick and satisfying tea that is almost impossible to over brew. This can be brewed western style as well with excellent results! We also offer another Bao Feng Xian Ji 2015 Gong Mei cake here!
