The grade the grading system undervalues: coarse leaf that brews sweeter and rounder than the bud-heavy teas above it.

Gongmei sits below Bai Mudan in the official grading, made from larger leaves with little bud content. The grading system measures how much silver tip is in the pile, not how good the tea tastes, and Gongmei is where that distinction shows most clearly: less downy, less expensive, and often sweeter and rounder in the cup than a bud-heavy tea costing several times as much.
Aged White 2019 itself comes from Fuding, Fujian, grown as fuding da bai, at 550 m. This lot is that same tea, handled and graded as described above — the leaf, the mountain and the maker do not change, only the picking window and the price.

We dispatch within 48 hours of your order, from our warehouse in China, with tracking on every parcel.
We do not quote a delivery date. Once a parcel leaves us it is carried by an international courier and cleared by customs in your country, and a date we cannot control is a date we will not promise. The tracking number, which you get when the label is created, shows every scan to your door.
Shipping is complimentary on orders over CAD 79.00$; below that a flat CAD 9.50$ applies. HST (13%) is calculated at checkout. Duties and import taxes are the recipient's responsibility.
Unopened tins can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. If a tea is not to your taste, tell us — we would rather send you something you like than keep the money.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club and China UnionPay through our payment provider's local card gateway, protected by 3-D Secure 2 authentication. Your bank may ask you to confirm the payment in your banking app or with a one-time code.
Card details are entered on our checkout and transmitted directly to the payment provider over TLS. They are never written to our database — we only keep the card brand and the last four digits so you can recognise the charge on your statement. All prices are in CAD.
