Notes from the master

Grown wild in untouched, ancient forests without pruning.

Gòng Méi’s tender buds and slightly curled leaves are thin yet rich in aromatic compounds. The fragrance harmoniously blends elegant floral notes with a distinct wild mountain air. The aroma profile is full-bodied and robust, while the taste is fresh yet mellow.  Even a gentle sniff evokes the essence of sunlit peaks and crisp mountain breezes.  The liquor is a soft yellow hue.

Sustainability

All of the materials used in our packaging are carefully selected for sustainability and the natural expression of the materials, consistent with our brand ethos of authenticity.

Drip Packaging:

With its simple and sophisticated hook-style design, all you need to do is hang it on your cup to set it up. There are no complicated steps, and you can easily make delicious tea.

The Drip Mesh Filter is made by 100% PLA (polylactic acid) made from plant-based resin, and it is compostable and sustainable.  

PLA is also the best packing material for organic tea because it preserves the original flavor of the tea leaves best without imparting impurities that affect the flavor.  This reflects our commitment to sustainability.

The Legacy of Wú Shui Wàng

We are 4th generation proud inheritors of the legacy of tea masters across generations in our family. Our teacher and inspiration is our father Wú Shui Wàng. Applying wisdom to his deep knowledge of tea, Shui Wang oversees our tea making and training the next generation of tea crafters.

In the time honoured tradition, our artisans craft the tea by hand that ensures quality. We use only natural materials from woven bamboo trays for air drying with fresh mountain air to wood charcoal for fire-roasting. Though making tea by hand is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the result is a richer, cleaner and deeply satisfying tea.
