Premium Flower fragrance Gong Mei 2014 No.228

It's an alluring mystery, what makes a tea more exciting, deep and elegant than others in the same category.
he tea bushes here are over 70 years old, planted around 1950. They like to press the old white teas into a disc and age them, but our producer's most exciting teas are aged in loose leaf form. Perhaps the disc pressing also tires the most delicate leaves a little, so that the elegance is better preserved without it?
This tea has been stored and matured for 9 years. There is a saying in China that aged white tea is a medicine after three years and a treasure after 7 years. Among its nutritional benefits, it is known for its beneficial effects on the vascular system, blood sugar and blood pressure. According to Chinese medicine, it reduces upstream fire and calms.
