From Yunnan Sourcing

This is entirely 2012 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 April 10th 2018, 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. It reminds me of a marriage of a tippy Yunnan Black tea and Bai Mu Dan. The aging has made this tea something beautiful to experience. Very thick and satisfying tea that is almost impossible to over brew. This can be brewed western style as well with excellent results! We also offer another Bao Feng Xian Ji 2015 Gong Mei cake here!

Not a bad white! I got this tea from my recent YS order, and bare with me as I try to recall my session with this tea yesterday. Nice “Gong Mei” grade leaves albeit slightly difficult to pry, with a rich aroma in the dry and wet leaf and a delicate liquor. Flavour is decent, nice and nuanced with a slight twang of potency. Texture is smooth, character is average with some steep variability and finish & aftertaste is nice too. Cha-qi is almost non-existent and steep longevity is decent, topping out at around steep 10, which is good for a white tea.
