Our province is a major tea-producing region nationwide, and the safety and quality of tea products are crucial—not only for the health of tea consumers but also for the overall strength of the province’s tea industry. On the 29th, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress approved the "Fujian Province Regulations on Promoting Tea Industry Development," which will take effect on June 1 this year. This makes Fujian the first region in China to introduce local legislation specifically aimed at advancing the tea industry. The regulations stipulate that anyone found selling unsafe tea products will not only have the problematic items confiscated but could also face fines of up to 10 times the value of the goods.
According to statistics, in 2009, our province produced a total of 265,700 tons of tea—ranking first in the country—and achieved a total tea industry output value of 40 billion yuan, once again placing us at the top nationally.

On the 29th, Fujian Province’s first-ever local legislative project focused on tea industry development—the "Fujian Province Regulations on Promoting Tea Industry Development"—was approved at the 29th session of the Standing Committee of the 11th Fujian Provincial People’s Congress. The regulations will come into effect on June 1 this year.
The regulations address key issues such as formulating tea industry development plans, implementing a tea quality traceability system, standardizing the use of fertilizers and pesticides in tea production, conducting evaluations of premium and high-quality tea products, and introducing incentives and support measures to boost the growth of the tea sector.
Notably, the regulations mandate the establishment of a tea quality traceability system. Local governments at or above the county level are required to gradually build tea safety and quality traceability information service platforms.

Affected by this year's prolonged rainy and chilly weather, the spring tea harvest in Fuding has been delayed by about 10 days compared to last year. However, based on the initial small batch of spring tea now available at the Min-Zhe Border Tea Flower Trading Market in Fuding City, prices remain largely stable—roughly on par with last year—and some varieties have even seen a slight increase.
By March 21, the Min-Zhe Border Tea Flower Trading Market in Fuding was already buzzing with activity, as tea farmers and traders set up their stalls and kicked off the season’s first round of trading. Though the current supply of spring tea at the market is still relatively limited—only around 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms daily—the majority of the available teas are high-quality Fuding varieties.

Ming Dynasty scholar Tian Yiheng wrote in "Zhu Quan Xiaopin": "Among tea-making methods, those processed with fire are considered secondary, while teas that are simply sun-dried rank highest—they’re closer to nature and completely free from the 'smoky' flavor." This method—entailing neither frying nor rolling—effectively preserves the tea leaves' nutritional content. Because it’s so pure and natural, it’s exceptionally beneficial for health.
At a tea gathering in 2010, tea industry giant Zhang Tianfu humorously remarked: "People who drink tea all day long are just like me—three cups daily, and the first one is always Fuding white tea." The centenarian tea expert still welcomes tea enthusiasts from across the country every day, enjoying over a hundred cups of diverse varieties—but his very first brew is invariably Fuding white tea.

China's Snow White: Fuding White Tea
2012-03-21
White tea is a living fossil of tea. In the history of Chinese tea production, white tea—rather than green tea—was actually the earliest form of tea ever made. As the saying goes, "The practice of drinking tea originated with Emperor Shennong," who, while tasting hundreds of herbs daily, encountered as many as 72 poisonous ones. It was tea that ultimately saved him from their harmful effects. To preserve this precious resource for future use, ancient people would sun-dry or gently roast the tender young tea buds and leaves. This natural drying process, known as "withering," closely resembles an age-old method once used in herbal medicine—and it’s precisely how "white tea" first emerged in the annals of Chinese tea history.
Moreover, the legendary tale of Tai Mu Niangniang personally passing down the knowledge of using white tea to heal and save lives aligns perfectly with scholarly theories suggesting that white tea was indeed the earliest type of tea produced in China.

Ningde City is world-renowned for its tea cultivation, boasting the largest variety of teas and a tea-drinking tradition that dates back centuries—more than any other region in China. And almost every type of tea has given rise to a beautiful legend, many of which remain popular and widely cherished even today. Among the numerous tea-related tales, the legend of Fuding White Tea is by far the most widely circulated among the local people.
According to the "Ningde Tea Chronicle," it is said that during Emperor Yao's reign, a humble farmer's daughter living at the foot of Mount Taibao fled into the mountains to escape war and settled there, earning a living by cultivating indigo plants. Known for her kindness and generosity, she was affectionately called "Lady Blue." That particular year, measles broke out across the area surrounding Mount Taibao, driving villagers en masse into the hills to gather medicinal herbs for their children—but all their efforts proved futile. Tragically, the disease claimed one innocent life after another, leaving Lady Blue’s compassionate heart deeply moved.
