Our Tribute Little Veggie is a Gongmei white tea, which can be confusing as the Fuding naming standard changed in 2018. In the case of Tribute Little Veggie, Gongmei refers to an heirloom cultivar (from seeds), sometimes called vegetable tea (Caicha) or small vegetable tea (Xiaocaicha). These heirloom white teas are increasingly difficult to find, with Fuding Dabai and Fuding Dahao cultivars dominating the market.
