Fuding City is actively producing white tea cakes to seize opportunities in the tea market.
2012-09-21
Currently, it's peak season for making Fuding white tea cakes, and many tea companies in Fuding City are actively producing and releasing their products to seize lucrative market opportunities. Recently, Ruida Tea Company, located in Diandou Town, Fuding City, has been bustling with production of Fuding White Peony tea cakes. According to Chen Jiarui, the company’s head, the current lineup of Fuding white tea cakes includes several varieties, such as aged white tea cakes, White Peony tea cakes, and newly crafted white tea cakes. Producing these premium tea cakes demands strict quality standards for the fresh leaves used—specifically, they must be tender, uniform, fresh, and ideally suited for processing. For the aged white tea cakes, the company carefully selects high-quality Fuding Dabai and Fuding Dahao tea leaves that have been aged for at least five years, harvested from the first spring flush, and then meticulously crafted into exquisite tea cakes.

During the 16th China International Investment Fair and the 2012 China International Tea Industry Investment Exhibition, 14 leading tea companies from Fuding City—including Pinpinxiang, Guangfu, Yurongxiang, Wuyao, Sanshanyuan, Luye, Tianhu, and others—joined forces to showcase their products. Against the backdrop of declining national tea exports, these companies stood out remarkably, securing foreign trade orders worth a remarkable 60 million yuan, setting a new record for white tea-related exhibition bookings.
Behind this success lies a strategic approach: building strong, proprietary brands while accelerating research and production in advanced tea processing to boost product value-added potential. This strategy offers valuable insights for our province’s tea exporters, which are currently struggling to break free from the trap of low-price competition and remain heavily reliant on lower-grade and raw-material teas.
Meanwhile, aged white tea is uncovering entirely new market opportunities.
Fuding White Tea, Fragrance Lingering on Mount Taibao

White tea is the earliest among the six major categories of tea to be crafted. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, ancient people already employed a simple processing method—drying tea leaves either in the sun or in the shade—similar to how modern white tea is made today. This technique allowed them to preserve the leaves for various purposes, such as ritual offerings, medicinal treatments, spiritual retreats, and everyday tea-drinking occasions. We refer to these ancient teas as "ancient white tea." According to legend, Lady Lan once "sun-dried the tender buds of tea to treat measles," marking this brew as perhaps the very first prototype of white tea.
More than a thousand years ago, Lu Yu’s *The Classic of Tea*, citing the *Yongjia Illustrated Treatise*, noted: "Three hundred li east of Yongjia County lies White Tea Mountain." However, Professor Chen Chuan, in his seminal work *A Comprehensive History of the Tea Industry*, corrected this by pointing out that "300 li east of Yongjia actually refers to the sea—and it’s likely a misinterpretation of '300 li south.'"
Fuding White Tea Culture and the Inaugural Timao Niangniang Festival Procession Event
2012-08-28
On August 23—the seventh day of the seventh lunar month—Fuding’s White Tea Culture Festival and the inaugural Taibao Niangniang Memorial Ceremony were held as scheduled, drawing over 1,000 devotees who formed a procession that took more than 30 minutes to complete its full route. The entire procession wound through the city center, with the parade lasting over two hours in total.
That day also marked China’s traditional Qixi Festival, or the "Double Seventh" Day—a romantic occasion often associated with love and matchmaking. Legend has it that single men and women who pay their respects to Taibao Niangniang on this day are likely to soon find their ideal partners.
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. The event also included preparations for a charitable donation drive aimed at raising funds to support education, helping to secure tuition assistance for underprivileged students in Fuding.

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.

He proudly shared, "Every weekend, I always enjoy a cup of white tea at home—it’s my hometown tea!"
Delivering his remarks straight to the point that afternoon, Cai emphasized his deep connection to his native region: "I’m originally from Fujian, and even more specifically, I’m married into a family from Fuding, where white tea is produced. As the birthplace of white tea, Fuding holds a special place in my heart. That’s why every weekend, no matter where I am, I make sure to sip some white tea at home."
Cai also highlighted Fuding’s two cherished treasures: Mount Taibao and Fuding Big White Tea. According to local folk remedies, he added, "If young people happen to break out with acne, drinking white tea can work wonders!"
Meanwhile, Zhejiang ranks first in China for tea exports.

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. According to the research findings, Fuding white tea not only effectively neutralizes excess oxygen free radicals, boosting the vitality and proliferative capacity of skin cells and brain nerve cells—but it also significantly increases the population of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus in the gut, while simultaneously reducing harmful bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus. This dual action contributes to a healthier intestinal environment and overall well-being.

Led by Professor Zhonghua Liu, Director of the National Research Center for Engineering Technology on Utilization of Plant Functional Components and a professor at Hunan Agricultural University, this project brought together technical resources and research teams from five renowned institutions: the National Research Center for Engineering Technology on Utilization of Plant Functional Components, the Center for Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Tsinghua University, the Center for Aging Medicine Research at Peking University, the Key Laboratory of Tea Science under the Ministry of Education, and the Subhealth Intervention Technology Laboratory affiliated with the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Focusing specifically on Fuding white tea (including Bai Hao Yin Zhen and Bai Mu Dan), the study spanned over a year and involved dozens of rigorous, scientifically-backed analyses and validations—ultimately revealing Fuding white tea's remarkable benefits in beauty enhancement, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing effects, as well as its potential to reduce lipids and aid weight loss.
