Origins
White tea is a Chinese specialty sought out by people all over the world. This type of tea is extremely delicate and fresh. This is due to the white tea containing a high amount of teabuds. Most white tea production comes from the Chinese province of Fujian, specifically the Jianyang, Fuding and Songxi regions. The hilly terrain, mountainous soil and abundant rainfall are ideal for the growth of the high mountain tea plants.
Great care is taken in the harvesting of the tea leaves – the selection is extremely strict, only very young leaves with fine white fluff are harvested, and the timing needs to be precise, usually in late March/early April. The production process has three steps: wilting, heating and shaping. In the farmers' experience, it is best to let the leaves wilt in the fresh air. However, this is not always possible, so during the rainy season this step is carried out indoors. The natural oxidation that starts in the leaves immediately after picking, is stopped by the heating up step, either on a hot pan or by steam. This is followed by drying and hand rolling into small beads.
