General Aged White Tea

This white from Fujian, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This aged Gongmei white tea from Fuding offers a delightful complexity, beginning with a thick body and profound sweetness. An intricate bouquet of fragrances unfolds, complemented by a subtle youthfu. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Floral" and "Full-bodied" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and floral and full-bodied.

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 2015 harvest.

Prices start at $7.20 through white2tea — that works out to about $0.24 per gram. A 25g package gives you roughly 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $1.44. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
