When I first put this tea on the website my goal was to get people to try a Qimen they maybe hadnt had before in order to expand their understanding. Since then it has become one of the staple teas of Sweetest Dew and a tea that often bought by the pound.
Gong Fu refers to a Qimen that is chopped up into smaller pieces. Originally the tea was chopped in order to fit more into a box meant for export to the west. Gong Fu tea drinkers though like the bold strong flavor that is the result of this chopping process.
While not overly bitter, Qimen Gong Fu is also not a subtle or soft tea. While this tea is generally smooth with a rose aroma, there is a tannicness to this tea similar to a red wine. Not completely smooth but also not overly strong.
Simple straight forward and enjoyable, this tea is loved by many cause its hiding no secrets.
