{"product_id":"white-gong-mei-bingcha","title":"White - Gong Mei Bingcha","description":"\u003cp\u003eA relatively new phenomenon in the tea world, aging white teas—not just pu-erhs—has become more common. The complexity of flavor and fragrance that comes with time can be attributed in part to white teas’ slight amount of oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compressed cake (a form also most often found in the pu-erh category) was produced in Fujian in 2015, and is a delight to behold and savor. Unlike the delicate Silver Needle and lighter White Peony teas, Gong Mei is made with a blend of young buds and more mature leaves from later in the season, resulting in a syrupy brew with deeper flavors than you might expect for a white tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo prepare, gently flake off a small portion of leaves, and steep with water below boiling. The nectar-sweet aroma and floral, lightly spicy flavor lasts through several infusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fujian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: nectar, cinnamon, honeysuckle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Production\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 185º F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePot:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5 grams, 2-3 minute steep\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGaiwan:\u003c\/strong\u003e  ½ full, 1 minute steep\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"In Pursuit of Tea","offers":[{"title":"25g · Tasting","offer_id":53220649828639,"sku":"WHT-GMB-25","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"75g · Pantry","offer_id":53220649861407,"sku":"WHT-GMB-75","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7930\/6783\/files\/Screenshot2026-11-09at1.37.59PM.png?v=1794249484","url":"https:\/\/officialritual.com\/products\/white-gong-mei-bingcha","provider":"Official Ritual","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
