About Fuding White Tea
As a National Geographical Indication product from Fujian, China, Fuding White Tea stands apart in the tea world for its minimalist craftsmanship and naturally sweet profile. Unlike green tea's freshness or black tea's robustness, this lightly fermented gem offers delicate floral notes and a lingering honeyed finish that deepens with age—a testament to its revered "aged aroma" tradition. Its leaves, adorned with silvery down, undergo sun-withering and slow oxidation, preserving antioxidants like gallic acid (up to 2.3 mg/g in aged variants).
Product Story: Liquid Amber of Time
Harvested from wild arbor tea trees in Fuding's core growing region (600+ meters elevation), this 2015 Shou Mei brick represents nine years of meticulous aging. The high-altitude terroir—abundant sunshine, mist-laden mornings, and mineral-rich soil—nurtures leaves with exceptional polyphenol density. Post-fermentation under controlled humidity transforms its character:
Visual Poetry: Brewed liquor glows like Baltic amber, a chromatic shift from pale gold (year 1) to russet tones (year 9+)
Aroma Symphony: Layered dried jujube, osmanthus blossom, and aged parchment nuances
Palate Journey: Velvety texture carrying roasted barley sweetness, with a cooling menthol finish
Accolade: Crowned Supreme Gold at Fujian's 2022 "Champion Cup" Tea Competition
Brewing Mastery
Gaiwan Method：
Preheating Ritual: Scald porcelain set with boiling water to awaken thermal responsiveness
Dosage: 5g leaves for 110ml vessel (1:22 tea-to-water ratio)
Water Wisdom:
New Tea: 95°C to preserve delicate esters
Aged Tea (3+ years): 100°C rolling boil to unlock bound terpenes
Steep Sequence:
Rinse: 5-second "leaf awakening" pour (discard)
Early Infusions (2-4): 10-second steeps for bright top notes
Mid Session (5-8): 15-30 seconds to extract catechins and theaflavins
Grand Finale (9+): 60+ seconds for full-bodied tannin release
Ceremonial Simmering：
Tea-to-Water Alchemy: 5g leaves + 500ml spring water (TDS <80ppm)
Cold-Start Technique: Begin with room-temperature water for gradual polysaccharide extraction
Heat Management:
First Simmer: 3 minutes post-boil for balanced astringency
Successive Brews: Retain 30% broth as flavor anchor; replenish with hot water
Vessel Philosophy:
Clay pots enhance roundness via micro-oxygenation
Glass kettles showcase dancing leaf choreography
Key Differentiation
This brick's compressed form (wild arbor material, hand-pressed) ensures:
Aging Potential: Tight structure slows oxidation, allowing gradual conversion of EGCG to thearubigins
Space Efficiency: 250g brick occupies 40% less volume vs loose-leaf equivalents
Pro Tip: This old white tea is suitable for soaking in a thermos or cooking outdoors. After a longer period of time, the taste becomes richer and less bitter. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to try it when camping outdoors.
