Fujian大力 promotes Fuding white tea
2011-11-05
Xinhua News Agency, Fuzhou, September 30 (Reporters Kang Miao and Li Huiying) — The Fuzhou Promotion Center for Fuding White Tea Culture in Fujian was officially unveiled on the 29th, coinciding with the launch ceremony of the book "Talking White Tea: Empowering Villages and Enriching Farmers." Fuding white tea is poised to become Fujian's next nationwide tea brand, following the renowned Anxi Tieguanyin and Wuyi Rock Tea.
Fujian, a major province in China's tea industry, already boasts two iconic tea brands—Anxi Tieguanyin and Wuyi Rock Tea—which have captured national attention. As the birthplace of white tea in China, Fuding is not only the country's largest production area for white tea but also its leading export hub, earning it the prestigious title: "White Tea of the World is in China, and Chinese White Tea is in Fuding." Yet, despite its global reputation, Fuding white tea has historically remained relatively unknown outside its home region.
The Centennial Evolution of Fujian White Tea

White tea, specifically Starbucks' Mu?dan White Tea, boasts a popularity rating of four stars on the official Starbucks website.
"The name 'white tea' originates from its delicate buds, generously coated with silvery-white downy hairs. Among white teas, Mu?dan White Tea stands out as a true gem—its vibrant green leaves are elegantly accented by silver-tipped buds that resemble blossoms. When brewed, the tea reveals a stunning contrast: the lush green leaves gracefully frame the shimmering silver tips, reminiscent of a peony bud just beginning to unfurl. This makes it aptly named 'White Peony' tea. Known for its refreshing qualities, white peony tea offers cooling effects that help beat the summer heat, while also promoting detoxification and reducing internal heat."
This is how Starbucks describes Mu?dan White Tea on their official website.
White tea is a specialty variety from Fujian Province in China, with the northern region of Fujian—particularly the Song area—being its primary production area.
The Transformation Journey of Fuding White Tea
2011-07-26
Fuding News Network reports (text and photos by Lei Shunhao): The region's unique natural tourism resources are shaped by its stunning mountains, picturesque waters, and scenic coastal islands. Fuding is renowned for its abundant tea production—indeed, as noted in Lu Yu’s "The Classic of Tea," "300 li east of Yongjia County lies Mount Bai Cha," a description reminiscent of the ancient "Classic of Mountains and Seas," referring specifically to Fuding’s Taibao Mountain. Historically, famous mountains have always given rise to exceptional teas; with such pristine landscapes and crystal-clear waters, it’s no wonder poets have penned countless exquisite verses inspired by this remarkable brew.
Meanwhile, tea farmers working amidst Fuding’s rolling hills may not yet realize just how closely the financial storm that originated on Wall Street in 2008 would eventually touch their lives.
In 2008, Fuding began cultivating white tea.

Overcoming green trade barriers to promote the healthy development of the white tea industry
2011-06-27
Fuding is known as the "Home of Chinese White Tea," and the tea industry has historically been both a traditional pillar and a distinctive specialty in Fuding, serving as a key driver for farmers to boost their incomes and create employment opportunities. In recent years, Fuding’s white tea exports have seen steady growth: by the end of 2010, annual exports of Baihao Yinzhen reached 350 tons, Bai Mudan totaled 300 tons, Shou Mei stood at 500 tons, and white tea slices hit 500 tons. Today, these products are marketed across 17 countries and regions, including the United States, Japan, the UK, and Germany.
However, as Fuding white tea continues its journey into global markets, we’ve observed a rising trend in a new form of trade protectionism—namely, green trade barriers.
6 grams of tea leaves daily to fight aging and reduce age spots

Chinese people enjoy drinking green tea, but few realize that this actually leads to a waste of the tea's nutrients. Tea contains both water-soluble and fat-soluble nutrients—though the latter aren’t soluble in water, meaning they remain trapped in the leaves no matter how many times you steep them. That’s why consuming the tea leaves themselves is the best way to fully absorb their rich nutritional benefits.
Tea is packed with an abundance of essential nutrients. The water-soluble ones include catechins, vitamin C, and amino acids, while the fat-soluble nutrients primarily consist of vitamin E, carotene, dietary fiber, minerals, chlorophyll, and some additional catechins.
Among the substances that don’t dissolve in water, vitamin E stands out for its powerful anti-aging properties, while catechins offer even more health-promoting benefits.
