Introduction
Gongmei, also known as Tribute Eyebrow, is a distinguished type of Chinese white tea, primarily produced in Fujian Province and sometimes in Guangxi Province. This tea is harvested from the Da Bai tea trees, using slightly younger leaves compared to Shoumei. Gongmei is recognized for its delicate, tightly rolled leaves that are uniform in color. The flavor profile is mild and sweet, with a light floral aroma and a refreshing finish. The minimal processing methods, including withering and drying, help preserve its natural flavors and beneficial compounds.
