I det nordøstlige hjørne af Fujian-provinsen i Kina ligger kystbyen Fuding. Dette er hvid tes hjemsted. Det var her, kommercialiseringen af hvid te begyndte.

I bakkerne uden for Fuding er markerne fulde af den særlige te-sort, der kaldes Da Bai eller Big White. Navnet passer godt. Disse teplanter danner fyldige knopper, tykt dækket med dun. Planten lagrer godhed i knoppen, for det er plantens fremtid. Inde i den lille sølvnål er der ekstra sukkerarter, polyfenoler og endda ekstra koffein. Det dunede fnug består af trikomer, som hjælper den umodne knop med at overleve denne kolde, grusomme verden. Efter at knopperne er omhyggeligt plukket i hånden, lader de fleste te-producenter knopperne tørre langsomt i en lade.

Denne subtilt søde te kan nydes i en kop, eller du kan drikke den som kineserne og lade en skefuld flyde i et klart glas med varmt vand. Se knopperne langsomt synke i vandet. Det kan være meget terapeutisk.

Adam I. ★★★★★

The first steep has this delicate, almost grassy sweetness that lingers on the tongue, and the leaves from Fuding really do unfurl beautifully after a couple minutes. I've been brewing it cooler than my usual black tea and it’s become my afternoon ritual.

Jacob ★★★★★

The dry leaves smell faintly of fresh hay, and the first steep comes out a pale, almost translucent gold with a gentle sweetness that lingers. I brewed a second round and it held its character nicely, which tells me the leaf quality from that Fuding region is real. It’s become my afternoon reset.

Grace I. ★★★★★

The dry leaves have that delicate, downy silver look you'd expect from Fuding, and they brew up a pale, almost honeyed liquor. I've been reaching for this every afternoon since it arrived — it's become my quiet ritual. The flavor is so gentle and clean, a real step up from the grocery store tea I us
