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.
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.
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.
