Description
Tribute Eyebrow (Gong Mei), known as Gong Mei in Chinese, is one of the classic white teas produced mainly in the Fujian and Guangxi provinces of China. This tea earns its poetic name from the shape of its leaves, which are thought to resemble the finely arched eyebrows of classical Chinese beauty. Gong Mei is picked later in the season than the more delicate white teas like Silver Needle and White Peony, including not only the bud but also the top two or three leaves, giving it a more robust flavor and a slightly darker color. The production process for Gong Mei involves a careful withering of the picked leaves under natural sunlight, allowing for minimal oxidation that preserves the tea’s natural antioxidants while developing its unique flavor profile. This method results in a tea that is a beautiful blend of subtlety and depth, with a richer body than its white tea counterparts. The infusion of Gong Mei is characterized by its amber hue, deeper than that of Silver Needle and White Peony, offering a taste that is complex and nuanced for Direct Sourcing from India Please Visit
