1. Origin: The Sacred Lands of Fuding

• Tea Leaves: Hand-harvested from Fuding’s heritage tea gardens (Fujian, China), where misty peaks and volcanic soil create uniquely floral white tea.
  • 2017 Gongmei : Made from mature leaves + buds, offering deeper honey-wood notes than Silver Needle.
  • 2015 Xinhui Chenpi: Aged tangerine peel from Guangdong’s Xinhui District—the only region recognized for medicinal-grade chenpi.
• Craftsmanship: Each “gold coin” cake (5g) combines sun-dried tea leaves and 8-year-old chenpi, compressed in a food-grade stainless steel mold.

2. Historical Roots: A Fusion of Legends

• Tang Dynasty (618–907): Fuding white tea was first tributed to emperors as “the immortal’s drink.”
• Ming/Qing Dynasties: Xinhui chenpi became a royal digestive aid—recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica (本草纲目).
• Modern Innovation: This pairing revives the Chaozhou tradition of brewing tea with chenpi for cough relief and warmth.

3. Cultural Significance: Medicine in a Sip

① Yin-Yang Balance

• Gongmei’s coolness (yin) + chenpi’s warmth (yang) create harmony—ideal for seasonal transitions.

② Auspicious Symbolism

• “Gold coin” shape represents wealth and health (jīn yù mǎn táng).
• 8-year chenpi signifies prosperity (8 = 发 fā, “fortune” in Chinese).

③ Ritual Unboxing

• Breaking a coin cake mimics ancient tea brick trading, evoking Silk Road nostalgia.

4. Why This Set is Exceptional?
