Earlier in the morning, dignitaries from Fuding City and Taiwanese Taoist practitioners gathered for a special "Harmony and Peace in Fuding" prayer ceremony, during which local residents eagerly joined in to offer their blessings.

On August 23, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month—the day when Lady Taomu is said to have ascended to immortality—Fuding City’s Taoist Association and Fujian Tianhu Tea Industry Co., Ltd. jointly hosted the grand "Fuding White Tea & the First Commemoration Ceremony for Lady Taomu," held solemnly in Fuding City.
Mount Taomu, named after being bestowed titles by multiple emperors, was originally called Mount Cai. Legend has it that Emperor Yao once faced peril in the East Sea, but Lady Taomu guided him safely through the crisis. Deeply grateful for her kindness, Emperor Yao honored her as "Taemu," and Mount Cai was subsequently renamed Mount Taemu. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty commissioned Dongfang Shuo to officially recognize famous mountains across the empire, and Mount Taemu was crowned as the foremost among the 36 most revered peaks, earning its new name: Mount Taomu.

The "Five Teas" of Fuding White Tea
2012-08-24
Fuding white tea boasts unique and remarkable health benefits, which can be summarized in five key "teas":
① A Cooling & Anti-Inflammatory Tea: White tea is renowned for its ability to clear heat and reduce inflammation. Recent studies have also revealed that white tea extracts effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria linked to staphylococcal, streptococcal infections, and pneumonia—making it a natural preventive measure against such bacterial threats.
② The "Women's Tea": White tea contains the lowest levels of free radicals among all teas. Regularly drinking white tea or applying its extracts can help slow down aging and promote radiant, youthful skin, earning it widespread popularity among modern, trend-conscious individuals—especially urban women.
③ The "Partner Tea": Pairing red wine with white tea creates a harmonious balance. While red wine is known to cause "heatiness" when consumed in excess, white tea acts as a natural counterbalance, helping to mitigate this effect and make the pairing more enjoyable.

The research conference on the health and wellness benefits of Fuding white tea was held today in Hangzhou. At the event, leading domestic research institutions such as the National Engineering Research Center for Utilization of Plant Functional Components emphasized that the health-promoting properties of Fuding white tea have been officially recognized and systematically validated by Chinese scientists.
