General Aged White Tea

This white from Fujian, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This aged Gongmei offers a thick, soothing body with a smooth and calming liquor. It carries deep, heavy dark fruit fragrances that evolve with each infusion, showcasing its versatility whether brewed. It sits in the "Fruity" and "Smooth" and "Earthy" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans fruity and smooth and earthy.

Aim for water around 75–85 °C (167–185 °F). Western style: steep for 3–5 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 4–5 g per 100 ml, 20–40 s infusions for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. White tea is forgiving. If you overshoot the steep time a little, it rarely turns bitter.

This white is grown in Fujian, China. This particular batch comes from the 2013 harvest.
