Premium-quality Fuding white tea with unique benefits
2012-02-15
[Lead] The most remarkable feature of Fuding white tea lies in its unique health benefits. Traditional Chinese medicine has long recognized that white tea has a cooling nature, helping to clear heat, reduce internal fire, relieve summer discomfort, and detoxify the body—making it effective in treating various ailments. Recent studies both domestically and internationally have shown that, compared to other types of tea, white tea contains the lowest levels of free radicals and the highest concentration of flavonoids. It boasts impressive health-promoting effects, including lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol and blood sugar levels, offering strong antioxidant and anti-radiation properties, inhibiting tumor growth, and even boosting the production of interferon by immune cells in the human body—increasing it up to fivefold.
In eastern Fujian’s Fuding region, the primary products include white tea, Bailin Gongfu black tea, and floral-scented oolong teas. Among these, white tea is further classified into four varieties based on raw materials and processing techniques: Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle), Bai Mu Dan (White Peony), Gong Mei, and Xin Gong.
