2019 Aged Gong Mei White Tea Cake 50g 贡眉白茶饼

Chinese name: Gòng Méi Bái Chá 贡眉白茶饼

Gong Mei White Tea (贡眉白茶) is a high-quality white tea from Fujian, China. It is known for its smooth, mellow character and slightly stronger taste compared to Silver Needle and Bai Mu Dan (White Peony). As a third-grade white tea, it ranks above Shou Mei in quality, offering a well-balanced profile between freshness and depth.

This tea is made from later harvests, meaning the leaves are slightly larger and more mature, giving Gong Mei its rich body and golden liquor. The minimal processing preserves its natural sweetness, while its slightly oxidized nature enhances complexity and warmth.

When brewed, Gong Mei White Tea releases a sweet, honey-like aroma, accompanied by notes of dried fruit, apricot, and floral undertones. The taste is smooth yet full-bodied, with hints of earthy warmth that set it apart from lighter white teas. Its golden-yellow infusion reflects its balanced depth—neither too delicate nor overly bold.

Gong Mei’s aging potential makes it unique among white teas, allowing its flavors to deepen over time, developing a more pronounced caramelized sweetness and subtle nutty notes. The tea is great for multiple infusions, evolving from bright and floral to rich and comforting.

A wonderful choice for those who appreciate white tea with more complexity, Gong Mei combines soft sweetness with depth, making it suitable for both casual and experienced tea drinkers.
