This variety of white tea holds one of the most unusual names – the first character is translated as "tribute, a gift," and the second – "eyebrows". Long and curved tea leaves can be compared in shape with eyebrows, and "gift" is due to the fact that earlier it was presented as a gift to the emperor. It is believed that Gong Mei is saturated with feminine energy: its delicate aroma creates a carefree mood and lightness! Just one sip of this drink will take you to the summer – sunny and serene!
In comparison with other white teas, Gunmei is considered to be simpler due to the fact that only one-third consists of tea buds. Three upper leaves and a bud are collected for its production. The presence of buds and leaves in the raw materials complicate the processing of tea, as the oxidative processes in them take place at different rates. But it makes the taste and aroma richer and juicier.
