Vintage: 2018 Spring Harvest
Weight: 100 gram (3.5 oz)
Type: White Tea
Production area: Fuding, Fujian Province, China
Fujian Province in Southeast China is home to white tea. This region accounts for 90% of the white tea production in the world.
There are four major types of white tea: Silver Needle (Yin Zhen), White Peony (Bai Mudan), Gongmei (Tribute) and Shoumei (Longevity). The names describe the appearance of the leaves and each type differs in the times of harvest and the grades of the leaves.
Classic Gongmei from Fuding is planted from seeds of a tea varietal called "Small White." Because it is planted by seeds instead of cuttings, the tea is more complex in flavor and thicker and rounder in texture. This tea possesses a sweet flower flavor that is soothing and savory.
Classic Gongmei is rare because the Small White varietal does not adapt well if transplanted outside of Fuding. Growing from seeds also takes longer for the tea plants to grow, but the result is well worth the effort.

I enjoy this tea first thing in the morning. Definitely would recommend. I bought 3 cakes and will purchase again.
This is also one of my favorite white teas in this price category.
This is a great white tea for everyday drinking. It tastes clean and fresh! And to top it off, it is organic.
I am so glad you liked this tea as much as I do.
this tea is delightful. very happy with the quality and the price can’t be beat. I will definitely purchase again. I think this tea will be extraordinary in a few years.

This tea has a wonderful body feel. The tea is very smooth in the mouth and patient allowing multiple steeps. Very high quality tea at a reasonable price. Would recommend for anyone interested in exploring the white tea genre.
