Xi Hu Longjing Information Platform, June 8: Luo Shaojun, former member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Director of the National Tea Quality Inspection Center, often highlights that Fuding white tea is a "flower blooming within the walls yet fragrant beyond." In the preface to her book *Fuding White Tea*, she writes: "Since ancient times, there have been numerous records documenting white tea's cooling, detoxifying, and therapeutic benefits, particularly in aiding measles patients. As a result, it became a vital remedy for overseas Chinese migrants—those who ventured across seas to seek livelihoods away from home—as they battled unfamiliar climates and sought health and wellness. Over time, this cherished tea has remained beloved by tea enthusiasts both at home and abroad. Meanwhile, with advancements in science and technology, Western medical circles have recently rediscovered white tea's remarkable ability to detoxify, prevent cancer, and even combat the disease, further validating its potent anti-cancer properties through cutting-edge research."

Expert Opinion: Fan Zengping: "Fuding White Tea possesses four key characteristics—timelessness, artistry, unique flavor, and medicinal benefits."
"Previously in Taiwan, very few people would drink white tea. They viewed it more as a medicinal remedy rather than a beverage you could enjoy casually. Plus, white tea has an ivory-colored infusion and a cooling nature, so even if you did drink it, you couldn’t consume too much. However, in recent years, the growing popularity of white tea has gradually opened my eyes to its true appeal. The first time I tasted Bai Hao Yin Zhen—a tea renowned for its delicate silver tips—it truly left me awestruck; the leaves took anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes to fully settle at the bottom of the cup after brewing."
After the introduction, Teacher Fan Zengping shared his personal journey with white tea.
