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.

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.
