Fuding, Fujian
Fuding is a city located in the Fujian province in eastern China. It is one of the major areas of white tea production in China.
Fuding's white tea is particularly famous for its delicacy and sweet flavour. It is made from the young buds of the tea plant and is characterized by its fuzzy and silvery leaves. The manufacturing process of Fuding's white tea is very exquisite and requires special attention to preserve its delicate flavour.
White tea with Chen Pi is an interesting and delicious variation of the traditional white tea from Fuding. Chen Pi refers to dried mandarin peel, which is added to the white tea leaves during infusion to give it a distinctive flavour and aroma.
