Clarity · Aged White Tea (Gongmei 2016)
Product details
Pure. Gentle. Grounding.
Harvested in 2016, Gongmei is a traditional white tea from Fujian, crafted with a balanced mix of buds, leaves, and stems. This harmony creates a deeper body and gentle sweetness, aging gracefully into warmth and quiet comfort.
Smooth and naturally sweet, its light amber liquor glows like afternoon sunlight after rain. Perfect for mindful breaks, journaling, or slow afternoons — a tea for those who know that true clarity lies not in perfection, but in peace.
Available in two formats:
-
100g / 3.5 oz bag · approx. 16 mini cakes for daily enjoyment (Each tea cake is handmade. Slight weight variations may occur due to the artisanal process.)
-
Sampler tin · 2 mini cakes, perfect for tasting or easy enjoyment anywhere

- Use fresh spring or filtered water for the best flavor.
- Water temperature: cooler for green/white (185–195°F | 85–90°C), hotter for black & Pu’er (200–212°F | 95–100°C).
- Start with 1–2 tsp (or 1 piece) per 6–8 oz cup.
- (Optional) Quick rinse (5 sec) to “wake up” the leaves before the first brew.
- Steep to taste (1-5 min) — shorter for lighter flavor, longer for stronger.
- Quality teas can be re-steeped several times, each cup revealing new character.
- Compressed teas (tea cakes, balls, etc.), white tea, and ripe Pu’er can be brewed longer or gently simmered to unfold deeper layers.
- Keep tea away from light, moisture, and strong odors.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Many teas, especially white and Pu’er, develop beautifully with age.
