2016 Aged Gongmei "Honey Bear" White Tea

To maintain high quality white tea, the year of harvest matters greatly. However, the tea material is equally crucial. Similar to fine wine, the quality of white tea cannot be enhanced solely by the harvest year. A good white tea should offer a clean taste with a rich texture and mouthfeel, leaving you fully satisfied. Over steeping a high-quality white tea won't result in bitterness easily, ensuring that with time, this tea will only improve in taste. Such is the exceptional nature of this white tea - it matures beautifully over time. A similar, lower quality white tea will make your throat feel scratchy or dry - that is often a result of overly used pesticides or chemical. The taste might be similar, but the experience how your body feel would be completely different! Achieving the best white tea, which ages well, hinges on the quality of the tea leaves. We aim for white tea aged at least seven years to refine its flavor. This particular tea, aged since 2016, surpasses expectations w
