2022 Lin Shengsong Brick White Tea

2022 Lin Shengsong Brick White Tea

2022 Lin Shengsong Brick White Tea is a pressed white tea from Fuding, Fujian, made from 2022-harvest white tea leaves and compacted into brick form. Because the leaves are pressed into a brick rather than packed into elaborate gift boxes, more of the cost stays on the tea itself, making it a practical, affordable white tea for daily drinking at home or in the office. The 2022 harvest gives the tea a fresh, lively base that is enjoyable now, and the brick is designed for people who want good white tea without the ceremony or the price of a premium loose-leaf lot. It is the kind of tea you can brew by the pot without fuss and come back to day after day.

Raw Material & Origin

Pressed from 2022 white tea raw materials, the brick opens to show well-defined, strip-like leaves with a plump, full texture and rich internal substances. When a section is broken off, the leaves come apart cleanly rather than shattering into dust, which keeps the liquor clear and easy to brew. As a Fuding white tea, it is built to drink well from the first brew while keeping the fresh, sweet character of the region's white tea.

Pressed Brick Form & Storage

The compact brick reduces the leaf surface exposed to air, helping to lock in freshness and aroma during storage, and takes up far less space than loose leaf. A single 200 g or 400 g brick stores neatly in a drawer, tea caddy or tea cabinet, and it is easy to portion: break off what a session needs with a tea pick and reseal the remainder. Because the brick keeps its aroma so well, it suits drinkers who buy in larger quantity and want the tea to stay fresh for months. For daily drinkers, buying in brick form also works out more economical per gram than small loose-leaf packs.

Flavor Profile

Once brewed, the tea soup is clear and bright. The aroma is fresh and herbaceous, with faint floral and fruity notes. The liquor tastes fresh and sweet, with a smooth, non-astringent body and a subtle sweetness that lingers in the aftertaste. It is a straightforward, clean white tea: no strong bitterness, nothing sharp, and a gentle sweetness that works well on its own or with food.

Brewing & Storage

Like most white tea, this brick is forgiving to brew. Start with around 5 g per 150 ml of water at 90–95°C and adjust from there.

• Use hot water and adjust the leaf amount to taste.
• Steep in short increments, adding time with each infusion.
• White tea generally tolerates repeated infusions.
• Available as 200 g and 400 g bricks.

It suits daily drinkers, offices, and anyone building a small white tea collection, and its simple format makes it an easy first pressed tea for someone new to white tea.
