Gong Mei (贡眉) , or “donation eyebrow” tea, is a traditional version of Chinese white tea, following Bai Mu Dan in the hierarchy of white teas. However, this does not mean less – in fact! In addition to the buds of Gong Mei, more developed leaves also appear, so the taste is fuller, deeper and more structured than in the case of Silver Needle or Bai Mu Dan.

Originating from Fujian Province, often around Zhenghe or Fuding, the tea undergoes careful, light oxidation and natural drying, which preserves the clean character of white teas, while also bringing in slight aged tones. In good quality Gong Mei teas, slight woody, honeyed, and even plum or dried fruit notes can be detected.

An excellent choice for those who desire a deeper, more substantial taste experience in the world of white teas.
