This tea is harvested from untended bushes 野放茶 growing in the Guan Yang area of Fuding (Fujian province) at an altitude of 900 meters!

August 2015 harvested Gong Mei pluck white tea was aged for 2 years in Fuding before being pressed into this cake in 2017.  Stored in Fuding (Fujian) until early 2020.

This tea is ultra-smooth and sweet with a creamy thick mouth-feel.  Tea soup is a deep orange color and the brewed leaves are deep brown in color.  The qi is very balanced and the tea leaves have excellent stamina.  You can feel the relatively high altitude growing conditions when drinking this tea!

"Good"

— Zhuo C. (4/5)

The dry leaves have a

"The dry leaves have a rich and diverse aroma with many subtle shades. The brewed tea smells floral-honey, slightly fruity and sweet, with a touch of dry herbs. The taste is gentle, smooth, and softly fruity - like a mild compote with a creamy texture. The flavor feels light and transparent; it probably needs more sessions to fully reveal its depth."

First Wild White! Does not disappoint!

"I have been venturing out from Pu Erh's and Hei Cha's. This is an nice smooth tea with slight sweet dandelion hints a couple of infusions in and turns slightly more floral in successive infusions. Easy to drink any time of day! After initially trying silver needle I thought all other white teas would not have much to offer, so glad I was wrong! Lower grades like this Gong Mei and even Shou Mei certainly do no disappoint! Any wild tea is alway a tea I target as I love the concept of untended tea bushes. I feel they are less manipulated and more natural, giving you a deeper connection to the earth they came from! Sip and relax with this Cha!"

A Smooth Drinking Experience And A Chill Cha Qi

"First off let me say that I'm a big fan of wild teas and this one did not disappoint. For the price, it's an excellent buy. The moment I held the cake I knew it had been made with care and attention. The mouthfeel is delightful, not too thick but smooth and velvety. The taste is well balanced--sweet, light & gentle with some darker tones as well, but not too far in either direction. After drinking this tea I always feel grounded, relaxed and a little less in my head (personally I find this to be the case with most wild teas). A lovely tea at a great price point."

Good

"Eating chocolate bar in sunny pine forest. Pleasant one for reasonable price, definitely worth trying. I like sweet notes of age. Sometimes I meet richer ones, but for bigger price usually."

— Konstantin (4/5)

A beautiful light pressed cake,

"A beautiful light pressed cake, which releases its dark liquor by the time you put the lid on. Short steeps characterize the tastes described above, which is paired with a caffeinated buzz without a real depth. I would appreciate suggestions on similar teas like this."

— Viktor J. (3/5)

Perfect

"Exactly what I was looking for in a semi-aged white tea. It is very infusible with a great long lasting flavour that will only get better with age. I would highly recommend it to people who like aged whites. At this price it's a steal."

— Ben T. (5/5)

A favorite

"this is an excellent daily drinker. Bought 2 more cakes after drying a sample Spice and sweet juicy stone fruit. Nice mineral and medium plus texture"
