Aged Gong Mei white tea from Fuding, China. Made from local Fuding tea varieties and harvested in spring 2016. Naturally aged and pressed into a tea cake in 2018. Smooth, sweet, and easy to drink. Low caffeine with a rich and full-bodied texture. A good choice for aged white tea lovers, daily tea drinkers, and anyone who enjoys mellow and comforting teas.

Floral aroma with notes of dried fruit, light herbs, honey, and soft wood. The tea liquor is smooth, clean, and thick on the palate. Sweet and mellow from the first sip. Gentle fruity notes and a long-lasting throat feel develop with each infusion. Lingering sweet aftertaste with a calm and warming finish.

Traditionally crafted by tea artisan Chen Zhengqiao. Made from carefully selected second and third spring leaves with visible white hairs. Naturally sun-dried and lightly oxidized using traditional white tea processing methods. Stored as loose leaf tea for two years before being stone-pressed into cakes in 2018. Slowly aged in a dry pinewood warehouse to develop deeper sweetness and complexity over time.

Steeping Guidelines

Easy Mug Brew


Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add hot water at 90°C (194°F), and steep for 5–7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with hot water to continue brewing.

Traditional Gongfu Style


Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:30. Brew with water at 95°C (203°F). For the first two infusions, steep for about 15 seconds each. Gradually increase the steeping time with each additional infusion. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.



Thermal Steeping


Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:200. Pour boiling water into a ceramic-lined insulated flask or teapot. Close the lid and let it steep for 1 to 2 hours before drinking. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing and enjoying.
