The character of "Shan Xiang"—natural, pure, and unpretentious—embodies the essence of Fuding White Tea. Crafted using traditional, time-honored methods and meticulously handpicked from Tai Mu Shan’s organic tea gardens, it has become a true classic in the world of white teas. This masterpiece is the heartfelt creation of Zhang Zhengku, the pioneer behind Fuding White Tea and a nationally recognized senior tea evaluator. After all, as the tea goes, so goes the person. Zhang Zhengku may not be adept at business—he’s entirely focused on mastering the art of tea-making with integrity, refusing to compromise by cutting corners or engaging in gimmicks. Instead, he remains steadfast amidst the ever-changing tides of the commercial world. With decades of dedicated passion, he pours his heart into every leaf, blending decades of experience and expertise to refine the unique flavors and aromas that define "Duoqi." Quiet and reserved by nature, Zhang Zhengku prefers to work silently, letting his actions speak louder than words. Yet within his quiet dedication lies a deep sense of gratitude, along with profound wishes for harmony and fulfillment—not just in his craft, but in life itself. Through his unwavering commitment, he seamlessly weaves together his personal journey, heartfelt appreciation, and profound insights into the very soul of this exquisite white tea.
"Shanxiang" embodies elegance and richness, boasting a distinctive flavor and unparalleled craftsmanship that remains unmatched. Carefully crafted by Zhang Zhengku himself, this aged white tea cake is made from 2011 Shoumei white tea, expertly shaped through a unique temperature-controlled process that unfolds over more than 100 hours of slow roasting. The result is a smooth, velvety texture with a delightful blend of jujube sweetness and honeyed notes. The tea liquor shines brilliantly, revealing an enchanting amber hue, while its aroma evokes the serene essence of nature and the timeless passage of time.
“Shan” means kindness, integrity, and nobility; it embodies benevolence, warmth, and sincerity. It also represents a good heart and virtuous actions. “Shan Xiang,” with tea’s natural essence, captures its elegant simplicity and pure, unadorned charm. Rooted in the tea master’s unwavering dedication, it seeks harmony with nature itself. And “Shan Xiang” is Zhang Zhengku’s way of offering the finest treasures of tea—his most cherished gifts—to Heaven, to the divine beings, and to all fellow tea enthusiasts, with heartfelt reverence.
