Fuding White Tea: Timeless Elegance, A Lasting Fragrance from Mount Taishan
2012-08-06
The author agrees with this view: 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—sun-drying or shade-drying—that closely resembles the techniques used today in making white tea. This practice allowed them to preserve tea leaves for various purposes, such as ritual offerings, medicinal treatments, spiritual retreats, and even casual enjoyment. We refer to these ancient teas as "ancient white tea." Legend has it that Lady Lan—"after drying the tender buds of tea under the sun"—used them to successfully treat measles. This tea can thus be seen as the very first prototype of white tea.
More than a thousand years ago, Lu Yu, in his *Tea Classic*, quoted from the *Yongjia Illustrated Treatise*, which stated: "Three hundred li east of Yongjia County lies Mount Bai Cha." Professor Chen Chuan, in his *A Comprehensive History of the Tea Industry*, noted further: "East of Yongjia by 300 li lies the sea—and to the south, less than 30…"

Tea has traveled from China to the world, long since becoming a major player—one-third of the global beverage market. As competition in the international tea industry intensifies, since the 1990s, leading tea-producing and consuming countries have continuously introduced innovative business models. China, the birthplace of tea, boasts six major tea categories—including green tea and black tea—as well as 20 tea-producing provinces and 80 million tea farmers, firmly cementing its status as a true tea powerhouse. Tea is not only a significant industry but also a vital part of people's daily lives. On July 14, Phoenix News' Tea Channel was honored to interview Lin Lizhi, Director of the White Tea Research Center at the China International Tea Culture Research Association and President of the Fuding City Tea Industry Association, and explore the origins and future prospects of Fuding white tea.

New Forces in the Tea World: Even White Tea Wants to Become an Antique

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.
