All-Category White Tea Starter Tasting Set

All-Category White Tea Starter Tasting Set: Learn the Full Range

This 480 g set is designed as a systematic introduction to white tea. It gathers all four traditional grades of Fuding white tea – Silver Needle, White Peony, Gongmei and Shoumei – so you can taste, side by side, how bud-to-leaf ratio and years of age change the cup. It is the broadest introduction we offer.

What's in the Set

• 2025 Pure Sun-Dried Silver Needle – single buds from the 2025 spring harvest, sun-dried for 72 hours; the honeyed, downy benchmark of the highest grade.
• 2021 Bronze Award White Peony – one bud with young leaves, a competition-honoured example of the second grade.
• 2015 Sugarcane Sweet Shoumei – a mature-leaf Shoumei aged since 2015, showing how age builds smooth sweetness.
• 2013 Gong Mei White Tea Cake – a pressed Tribute Eyebrow cake aged over a decade, the fullest expression of aged white tea.

What You'll Learn

Line the four teas up from pure bud to mature leaf and the pattern becomes clear: Silver Needle is all delicate sweetness, White Peony adds body and florals, Gongmei brings a richer mellow profile, and the aged Shoumei and Gongmei show how time turns freshness into honeyed depth. It is the closest thing to a white tea curriculum in one box.

Good Value

Bought as a set, the four teas cost roughly 30% less than ordering them separately – a practical way to cover the whole category in a single purchase.

How to Taste

Brew each tea separately with about 5 g per 150 ml of water at 90–95°C. Taste in order of grade, from Silver Needle to the aged Gongmei, and note how body, sweetness and aroma shift.
