Gong Mei (Tribute Eyebrow)贡眉

In the cup, Gong Mei (Tribute Eyebrow) is best understood as a white tea built around hay, honey, and floral. The secondary notes of dates and herbs give it more range than a simple category label suggests, while the aroma leans toward a restrained aroma. Expect a light medium body and a finish that shows the tea most clearly after the first few sips.

The origin matters here. Gong Mei (Tribute Eyebrow) is associated with Fuding in Fujian, so the page should be read as a profile of both tea style and place. Coastal mountain area. Origin of Fuding white tea. That context helps explain why two teas in the same broad family can taste noticeably different.

Processing is the other major clue: white tea is typically gentle withering and drying, which preserves delicacy while allowing a little natural oxidation. For Gong Mei (Tribute Eyebrow), the oxidation level is 12% when measured on a simple scale.

For brewing, start near 90C with about 5g per 100ml. The first infusion at roughly 30 seconds should show the tea's structure without over-extracting it; later steeps can move in 10-second increments. Because the expected range is about 5 infusions, this tea is better judged across a session than from one long steep.

When buying Gong Mei (Tribute Eyebrow), use price as a quality signal but not the only one. A common mid-range benchmark is around $6-$15 per 50g. Look for clean aroma, credible origin naming, and leaf appearance that matches the style before paying premium prices.

It is especially useful for daily drinking. With low caffeine and a light medium body, it can fit different roles depending on steep strength: lighter infusions emphasize fragrance, while slightly longer infusions bring out texture and finish.
