2012 Aged Gong Mei White Tea

These little balls are perfect for gongfu brewing! They have been aged since 2012 from sun-dried white tea, and have developed a super smooth and unique character. The taste opens with a light honey and fruit note, and continues with some florals and malt. As you steep this, the viscosity will thicken and the base notes will grow stronger. There is no bitterness or astringency, no matter how you steep these. You can steep shorter lengths for a lighter, more white-tea-like experience, or longer to give you an almost black tea characteristic! Price is per ~5g ball. To keep the price on these low, there is no additional packaging for them, so steeping information will be listed below: Recommended gongfu style: use 1 ball per 100ml gaiwan and 190ºF water. Start by steeping for 45 seconds to get the ball to open up a bit. Brew for color from there on out, anywhere from a light amber to a dark amber is enjoyable! For later steeps, increase temperature up to boiling. Recommended western style
