The Amazing Benefits of Fuding White Tea
2013-10-15
The benefits of white tea include cancer prevention and support, heat relief, detoxification, and relief from toothaches. Notably, aged Bai Hao Yin Zhen white tea can even be used as a natural fever-reducing remedy for young children suffering from measles—its cooling effect is reportedly superior to that of antibiotics.
White tea is a lightly fermented tea crafted using delicate, unique methods that avoid the traditional processes of rolling or pan-firing. The fresh leaves selected for white tea must exhibit the "three whites": tender buds and two accompanying young leaves should all be generously covered with silvery-white downy hairs. As a result, the finished tea boasts an elegant, silver-white appearance, earning it the name "white tea."
Depending on the specific tea variety and harvesting standards, white tea is categorized into two types: bud teas (such as Bai Hao Yin Zhen) and leaf teas (like Gong Mei). Bud teas are made exclusively from single, unopened buds, giving them their distinctive, premium quality.
