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.
The tea bushes in this garden are over 70 years old, planted around 1950. Usually white teas get pressed into cakes for aging, but our producer's most exciting teas are aged in loose form. Perhaps the pressing tires the most delicate leaves a little, so that the elegance is better preserved without it?
Whatever the case, this white tea made a huge impact on our mood the other day. It brought a calm, deep, collected state and a sense of fine action. Like for a brief moment, we understood the world a little better. An extremely exciting state. And yet it was slow to reveal itself at first. In the name, huaxiang means flower fragrance.
