The First White Tea White Peony White Tea

White tea, a kind of micro fermented tea, is a special treasure among Chinese teas. The name comes from the fact that most of the finished tea is sprouted and covered with white hair, which looks like silver and snow. One of the six major teas in China.

White tea has a long history. According to historical records, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, a young man named Yin Zhen, with a self-made tea made in his hometown, paid a visit to Xu Shen, a famous Confucian master. When the disciples made difficulties, he ate tea under his eaves. For a moment, Xu Shen's entire residence was filled with strong tea fragrance. Xu Shen strolled to trace the origin, and then invited Yin Zhen into the study to brew his "tea cup". But he saw its beautiful shape. The white leaf bottom was like a silver needle dropping a pot. The soup was green and bright. The taste was fresh and mellow. Occasionally, the taste was mild and bitter.
