New Forces in the Tea World: Even White Tea Wants to Become an Antique
2012-07-05
If you’re a true tea enthusiast, you’ve probably noticed something exciting happening right now in Zhengzhou’s tea scene: following the popularity of Pu-erh tea, another tea variety is making waves as the "old tea" phenomenon—Fuding white tea from Fujian.
A quick stroll through the local tea markets reveals not only dedicated white-tea shops popping up but also an increasing number of regular tea stores quietly stocking this delicate brew. Whether displayed in large baskets or neatly packed in various containers, the freshly harvested Bai Hao Yin Zhen and Bai Mu Dan teas look like tiny silver-fuzzed sprites—each one exuding a graceful, ethereal beauty, almost like natural goddesses. Even the more robust Shou Mei varieties, with their bold, leafy profiles, are still fragrant and captivating.
Beautiful indeed.

The aged white tea collection market is gradually heating up.
2012-06-28
The "aged tea craze" has swept through the market, first hitting pu-erh tea, then spreading to oolong tea, and now even reaching white tea.
Old white tea has long been cherished in folk traditions, but its collectible value began to gain attention only after a single aged white tea cake recently sold for a staggering 188,000 yuan at an auction in China last year. Since then, the white tea collecting scene has steadily heated up—particularly in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
Just last week, Haizu’s *Tea Weekly* received a sample of old white tea from Shanghai, reportedly aged around 50 years. However, after careful evaluation by seasoned tea enthusiasts, it was determined to be a "man-made imitation." Interestingly, such counterfeit aged white teas are surprisingly common in China’s nascent white tea collecting market, where aspiring collectors are increasingly drawn in.
