Gong Mei 贡眉2020
Location : Fu jian provice Jian yang district Zhangdun town 福建省建阳区漳墩镇
Year: 2020 ,Spring
Cultivar : Qun Ti Zhong ,also called "Xiao Cai cha "or "Tu Cha"
Feature :
Before 2017, tea farmers called high-grade Shoumei (Shoumei with obvious buds) as Gongmei. At that time, the grades of white tea were arranged as follows: Baihao Yinzhen, Bai Mudan, Gongmei, Shoumei.
In May 2018, the state implemented the new "National Standard for White Tea", which made a standard definition of "Gongmei": a white tea product made from the tender shoots of Qun Tizhong cultivar (in chinese is 群体种,in local we call that as Xiao Cai Cha 小菜茶 or TuCha 土茶 )through specific processes such as withering, drying, and sorting. It can be seen that Gongmei must meet two rigid conditions: one is that the raw material tree species must be Qunti zhong , and the second is that the picked leaves must be fresh leaves from tender shoots.
Gongmei is made from one bud, two or three leaves of tea trees picked in spring. It is not the remaining material after picking silver needles and white peony, but the material picked at the beginning of spring, so Gongmei contains tea buds. Its birthplace and main production area are in Zhangdun Town, Jianyang
This tea is super clean and full in the mouth ,very oily in soup and smooth .Very standard taste of the gong mei ,high recommendation .
