Gong Mei 貢眉 is a type of white tea that consists mostly of larger leaves, with a few white buds sprinkled in. These larger leaves have a more robust flavour than the buds, with a malty base and notes of wet forest and honey.
It is the 3rd picking grade after:
- Silver Needle 白毫銀針 (only buds), and
- White Peony 白牡丹 (bud and two leaves).
This Gong Mei White Tea has been pressed into compact biscuit shapes for easy brewing. Just add hot water, steep, strain and enjoy!
Harvested in 2018 and pressed in 2022, this tea has been aged for 4 years.
White tea (especially Gong Mei) is great for ageing, because - as a minimally processed tea - it continues to slowly oxidise and develop a deeper flavour over time, thus the famous saying about white tea: "一年茶、三年藥、七年寶" ("One year tea, three years medicine, seven years treasure").
