Product Overview

This aged mini cake of Gongmei white tea is crafted from heirloom Qunti Xiaocai (small-leaf variety), organically grown in the high mountain regions of Fuding, Fujian. This native tea has been cultivated for centuries and was once chosen as a tribute tea to the imperial court during the Song Dynasty — hence the name Gongmei, or “Tribute Eyebrow.”

Made using traditional white tea processing methods and naturally aged in clean storage since 2013, it offers a mellow, complex brew with soft sweetness and layered depth.
