Fujian White Tea: Silver Needle Baihao
Silver Needle Baihao is the highest-grade white tea, also known as Baihao or Baihao Yin Zhen. It is produced in Fuding and Zhenghe, Fujian Province. This premium tea is crafted exclusively from single-bud raw materials using traditional white tea processing techniques.
The modern category of white tea was first introduced with the creation of Silver Needle Baihao. As noted in Tian Yiheng’s "Zhu Quan Xiao Pin" from the Ming Dynasty: "Among teas, those processed by fire rank second; naturally sun-dried teas are superior, closer to nature, and completely free from smoky flavors." If this passage reflects descriptions of ancient white tea, then today’s modern white teas can truly be described as both time-honored and refreshingly contemporary.
In the early years of the Jiaqing era of the Qing Dynasty (1796 AD), Fuding pioneered the production of Silver Needle Baihao, using robust buds harvested from Cai Cha—a local, naturally propagated tea variety.

Tea has 27 health benefits, but drinking it incorrectly can also harm your health.
2011-05-27
Tea tasting is a tradition in China that has been passed down for over a thousand years, yet perceptions of tea vary widely among the Chinese population. Most people still view tea primarily as a refreshing beverage to quench thirst and beat the heat, whereas, in the eyes of ancient Chinese alchemists, tea was considered the "medicine for all ailments."
Legend has it that during his herbal expeditions on Mount Taibai, the renowned medical sage Sun Simiao suddenly felt parched and dry in his mouth and throat. He picked some tea leaves, tasted them, and immediately experienced a surge of clarity and vitality. Not only did he begin drinking the tea regularly himself, but he also shared these leaves with his patients, using them to brew teas that helped cure many of their illnesses.
Today, as science illuminates every aspect of our lives, research into the health benefits of tea continues to grow—ranging from radiation protection and cancer prevention to cardiovascular health support. But exactly what components in tea contribute to these remarkable effects?

"White tea, it works," "Green—symbolizing health," "White tea: the future cornerstone of China’s health industry," and "A unique beverage with limitless potential"—these were the powerful one-liners used by seven experts at the China White Tea “Nature, Health, Harmony” Summit Forum, which kicked off on June 22. Their insights collectively shaped the *Fuding White Tea Consensus*.
The *Fuding White Tea Consensus* highlights the enduring legacy of a beautiful millennium-old legend: the tale of Lady Taibao using white tea to cure measles. It also draws from historical records, including Lu Yu’s *The Classic of Tea* from the Tang Dynasty, which mentions a “White Tea Mountain” located 300 li east (or south) of Yongjia County, as well as Zhou Lianggong’s *Min Xiaoji*, which notes the presence of “Lüxueya tea” on Mount Taibao. Fuding, meanwhile, remains the heartland of this revered tradition.
