Wild White Tea – Wild Gongmei

This rare wild white tea comes from a remote Snow Mountain area in Yongchun County, Fujian Province. Grown at around 1,300 meters above sea level, the tea trees thrive in cool mountain air, mist, and mineral-rich soil.

The tea gardens in this region were originally planted decades ago and later left largely untended. Over time, the tea trees adapted to their natural environment, growing in a more wild, resilient, and balanced way, with minimal human intervention.

Unlike many classic white teas made from Da Bai (Big White) cultivars, this tea is produced from Xiao Bai (Small White) tea trees. These trees naturally develop smaller buds and leaves, which are known for producing a gentler, sweeter, and more refined aroma.

This tea follows traditional Gongmei picking standards, using a one bud with mature leaves ratio. The leaves are harvested only once they reach full development, giving the tea its characteristic larger leaf appearance and deeper, rounder flavor.
