Flavor Profile

What does Zheng He Gong Fu taste like?

Zhenghe Gong Fu is a traditional Fujian gong fu black tea from Zhenghe county — also famous as a historic white-tea origin. The cup leans toward ripe fruit and honey with a mild earthy, autumn-leaf undertone and a clean, sweet finish. Zhenghe-style processing gives it a slightly deeper, darker character than its Bailin and Tanyang neighbors, with a full body that stands up well to milk while keeping its fruity sweetness intact.
