In daily life, we always rank the four major white teas. For Baihao Yinzhen, we always give it extremely high praise because of its scarcity. For Shoumei, because of its reputation, we also give it more attention. For tea cakes stored for ten years, we are especially fond of them because they carry ...

Fuding's white tea industry has a saying: One-year tea, three-year medicine, seven-year treasure. This saying sounds very much like marketing talk. But when you truly taste a properly stored 2013 aged white tea cake and a brew of newly picked loose tea from that year, only then do you understand th...

When we buy aged white tea, tea merchants sometimes open a bag of aged white tea and let you smell the aroma. Sometimes you will smell a trace of a sweet-and-sour note similar to green plums, or a scent like dried fruit that has been kept in a jar for a long time. They usually explain that this is p...

When it comes to China's hometown of white tea, most people will immediately think of Fuding. In fact, hidden among the mountains of northern Fujian is a low-key white tea producing area: Zhenghe.

Bai Hao Yin Zhen tastes soft and gentle, with a milky feel, and its floral aroma is deeply hidden in the tea liquor, not rushing out...

During festive visits or daily gift-giving, people often struggle with choosing the right present: fearing it may be flashy but useless, left to gather dust; worrying it lacks thought, seeming perfunctory; or fretting it won’t suit the recipient’s taste, wasting all the effort. Actually, there is on...

If we ask the tea friends around us, "What is the old white tea that you actually store for a long time at home?", most people will answer that it is Shoumei. Shoumei is different from Baihao Yinzhen; when you buy it as white tea for storage, you won't be so concerned about the price and appear over...

Silver Needle is the highest-priced category among the four grades of white tea. The raw materials for White Peony, Gongmei, and Shoumei all use tea leaves; only Silver Needle is different, as it uses only complete, unopened single tea buds. There are always tea enthusiasts who ask me why Silver Nee...
