The benefits of white tea include: cancer prevention, anti-cancer properties, relief from heatstroke, detoxification, and treatment of toothaches—especially aged White Peony tea.
Silver needles can be used as a fever reducer for young children with measles, and they work more effectively than antibiotics.
White tea is a lightly fermented tea made from buds and leaves covered with abundant white hairs, processed using a unique and delicate method without kneading or pan-firing. The fresh leaves used for white tea must meet the "three whites" standard, meaning the tender bud and the two adjacent young leaves all show visible white hairs. The finished tea is fully covered with fine down, appearing white like silver, hence the name "white tea." Depending on the tea tree variety and harvesting standards, white tea is divided into bud tea (such as Baihao Yinzhen) and leaf tea (such as Gongmei). Bud tea is made from single buds and is called Silver Needle; leaf tea is made from a complete set of one bud and one or two leaves with dense white down on the leaf backs, called White Peony (using the Da Bai tea variety, with the best quality coming from the first flush of spring tea).
White tea is a specialty of Fujian, with its main production areas located in Fuding, Zhenghe, Songxi, Jianyang, and other regions.
The basic initial processing of white tea involves steps such as withering, baking (or air-drying), sorting, and re-firing. Among these, withering is the crucial step that determines the quality of white tea.
White tea is characterized by its delicate appearance, featuring intact bud tips or gracefully shaped floral forms, fully coated with fine white hairs that give the leaves a silvery sheen. It boasts a fresh, crisp aroma of downy tips, a clear yet vibrant greenish hue in the liquor, and a light, subtly sweet aftertaste that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
