Geographic Origin
Location: Fuding, Fujian (27.05°N, 120.25°E) - The birthplace of white tea and one of China's most prestigious tea regions.
Climate: Humid subtropical climate with abundant rainfall and fertile soil, creating ideal conditions for white tea cultivation.
Terroir: The region's misty mountains and mineral-rich soil contribute to the tea's unique "Fuding character" that develops during aging.
Craftsmanship
Sun Drying
This traditional method of drying tea leaves in the sun helps preserve their natural flavor and aroma. No machine drying is used, and it typically takes more than 3 months when weather conditions are favorable. The sun-drying process imparts a distinctive "sun-kissed" flavor to the tea.
Aging Process
Our 1521 Fuding Old White Tea undergoes a minimum of 3-5 years of natural aging in controlled environments. The aging process transforms the tea's character, mellowing its initial vegetal notes into complex woody and medicinal aromas while developing its signature sweet aftertaste.

Summary
Hot Brewing: Best for experiencing the full aroma and flavor profile. The gaiwan method is simple and allows for easy control over steeping time, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced tea drinkers.
Cold Brewing: Offers a refreshing alternative, though some customers find the hot brewing method better captures this tea's complexity. Ideal for preparing in advance and storing in a thermos for later enjoyment.
