2011 WuyiStar White Gong Mei Raw Puer - from Trailhead Tea, Sedona, Arizona
An AGED RAW/SHENG PUER 2011 spring harvested Gong Mei White Tea from Fuding area of Fujian Province, and then pressed and stored in WuyiShan by the WuyiStar factory, where we toured in October 2016. WuyiStar is a very large producer, but is also well know for their specialties. We spent time learning with the primary tea master. We sampled this tea in their tasting room before acquiring.
The taste of the tea is very smooth, honey-like sweet and a bit nutty. The aroma is honey and orchids, with a fairly thick mouthfeel. Gong Mei is considered to be 3rd grade/harvest Fuding white tea, sharing elements with both Bai Mu Dan and Shou Mei. To review: 1st Grade - Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needles), 2nd Grade - Bai Mu Dan, 3rd Grade - Gong Mei, 4th grade - Shou Mei.
