2012-12-05
Reporters learned from the Fuding Municipal Development and Reform Bureau that the city will build a White Tea Culture City in Diandou Town, a major tea-producing town in Fujian Province. Currently, the project has already been approved by the city’s Urban Planning Committee, and key steps such as project planning and design, as well as preliminary land acquisition, have been completed. The next phase involves submitting the necessary applications for land approval and related procedures.
It was noted that Diandou Town currently boasts over 30,000 mu of tea gardens, producing more than 21,000 tons of fresh tea leaves annually. Notably, 80% of local households rely on tea-related income as their primary source of earnings. The town is also home to more than 150 tea enterprises of various sizes, including the Min-Zhe Border Trade Tea Flower Specialty Market—a prominent trading hub covering 8,000 square meters. This market handles an impressive annual volume of 30,000 tons of fresh tea leaves and 8,000 tons of dried tea, making it the largest specialized tea trading center in our city.

On October 18, during the keynote report session of the 8th China Tea Industry Economic Annual Conference, Professor Liu Zhonghua, a doctoral supervisor and professor at Hunan Agricultural University, delivered a presentation titled "Tea Consumption for Health and White Tea," highlighting that the tea industry currently faces numerous imbalances in its development. Looking ahead, he emphasized that regardless of whether it’s in cultivation, processing, or marketing—key areas crucial to China’s tea industry—the primary focus must remain on ensuring the quality and safety of tea products. This holds true equally for Fuding white tea.
In the cultivation sector, the priority should be developing profitable tea gardens. Professor Liu pointed out that, within the tea-growing domain, China’s tea industry is experiencing an imbalance between expanding茶园 acreage and increasing tea yields—a trend that contrasts with the actual growth dynamics of both factors.

This includes exploring the health benefits of white tea, implementing a robust quality-tracing system, and strengthening its brand identity. As a result, Fuding has successfully shifted from the past scenario of "flowers blooming within the walls but fragrant beyond," actively driving the growth and expansion of its tea industry.

Fuding City is actively producing white tea cakes to seize opportunities in the tea market.
2012-09-21
Currently, it's peak season for making Fuding white tea cakes, and many tea companies in Fuding City are actively producing and releasing their products to seize lucrative market opportunities. Recently, Ruida Tea Company, located in Diandou Town, Fuding City, has been bustling with production of Fuding White Peony tea cakes. According to Chen Jiarui, the company’s head, the current lineup of Fuding white tea cakes includes several varieties, such as aged white tea cakes, White Peony tea cakes, and newly crafted white tea cakes. Producing these premium tea cakes demands strict quality standards for the fresh leaves used—specifically, they must be tender, uniform, fresh, and ideally suited for processing. For the aged white tea cakes, the company carefully selects high-quality Fuding Dabai and Fuding Dahao tea leaves that have been aged for at least five years, harvested from the first spring flush, and then meticulously crafted into exquisite tea cakes.

During the 16th China International Investment Fair and the 2012 China International Tea Industry Investment Exhibition, 14 leading tea companies from Fuding City—including Pinpinxiang, Guangfu, Yurongxiang, Wuyao, Sanshanyuan, Luye, Tianhu, and others—joined forces to showcase their products. Against the backdrop of declining national tea exports, these companies stood out remarkably, securing foreign trade orders worth a remarkable 60 million yuan, setting a new record for white tea-related exhibition bookings.
Behind this success lies a strategic approach: building strong, proprietary brands while accelerating research and production in advanced tea processing to boost product value-added potential. This strategy offers valuable insights for our province’s tea exporters, which are currently struggling to break free from the trap of low-price competition and remain heavily reliant on lower-grade and raw-material teas.
Meanwhile, aged white tea is uncovering entirely new market opportunities.
Fuding White Tea, Fragrance Lingering on Mount Taibao

White tea is the earliest among the six major categories of tea to be crafted. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, ancient people already employed a simple processing method—drying tea leaves either in the sun or in the shade—similar to how modern white tea is made today. This technique allowed them to preserve the leaves for various purposes, such as ritual offerings, medicinal treatments, spiritual retreats, and everyday tea-drinking occasions. We refer to these ancient teas as "ancient white tea." According to legend, Lady Lan once "sun-dried the tender buds of tea to treat measles," marking this brew as perhaps the very first prototype of white tea.
More than a thousand years ago, Lu Yu’s *The Classic of Tea*, citing the *Yongjia Illustrated Treatise*, noted: "Three hundred li east of Yongjia County lies White Tea Mountain." However, Professor Chen Chuan, in his seminal work *A Comprehensive History of the Tea Industry*, corrected this by pointing out that "300 li east of Yongjia actually refers to the sea—and it’s likely a misinterpretation of '300 li south.'"
