Description

This is entirely 2018 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 August 1st 2019, 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. The aroma is honey and orchids! It reminds me of a marriage of a tippy Yunnan Black tea and Bai Mu Dan. There is a kind of hay/grass taste that is complemented with a thick mouthfeel and sweet honey taste.
