“The wind is where Jueyin wood energy is transformed. It is wind in the sky, wood in the earth, and liver in people. … The wind and wood are flourishing, the qi of the child is first born, and the fire order is not prosperous.” Writing the “Huangdi Neijing” about this spring’s wind and fire, the development of liver qi, and the easy generation of dry qi, I immediately found the white tea in the cabinet.
Whenever it gets hot and dry, white tea is almost never disappointed – as the most simple processing method among the six major tea categories of green, yellow, green, white and black, white tea is self-contained, quiet, light, implied Soothe all inner strength .
The pursuit of superior white tea begins in Fujian, which is deep in the mountains.
“There are two ways to get to Tespina: by boat or by camel. This city presents a different look to people who come from land and sea.” In “The Invisible City”, Calvino described Moss in this way. spi. The same goes for Fujian.
Fujian is a city covered with a layer of mist. The southeast coast is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The coast is tortuous and hilly, interspersed with river valleys and basins. 80% of the mountainous and hilly terrain constitutes a unique geography of “eight mountains, one water and one field”.
People who come from the sea can see the island style of Xiamen, the red brick European-style stairs and the “Jiageng style” buildings constructed by the dovetail and the saddle roof, the bright white clouds lifted by the wind and the clean streets without a trace of dust, such as Pure as the sea breeze. And most people go from the plains to the mountains. From mountain to mountain, coconut trees turn into broad-leaved trees in the forest, and then into layers of sangko and banyan trees, and further inside are cities that are separated by a few hours’ drive.
The mountains and rivers are separated, and everything can return to purity. For example, Fujian people maintain the habit of drinking tea every day, such as the cool and cool new white tea that will quietly occupy the teacup in the hot summer. At this time, the white tea, from the earliest medicinal to the current daily drinking, has already crossed the acquaintance and acquaintance with the Fujian people, and has become familiar with each other.
As the main white tea producing area in China, Fujian white tea production once accounted for more than 80% of the total domestic white tea production. According to the “Daguan Tea Theory”, “white tea is a kind of tea of its own, which is different from regular tea. Its strips are applied, its leaves are thin, and it is born by chance between the cliffs, although it is not caused by human beings.” Although the so-called white tea at that time was called It is impossible to verify whether it is consistent with modern white tea, but it is close to nature. From Fuding, Jianyang, Zherong, Songxi and other places, with the passage of time, white tea is gradually scattered in Fujian.

Ecology is the foundation of a good tea, especially white tea . In Fujian, on top of the mountains, the diffused light is rampant, the clouds and mist act as an auxiliary to reflect most of the long-wave light, and the short-wave light is secretly withheld, providing favorable conditions for the tea trees to synthesize amino acids and nitrogen-containing aromas and other substances. The benefits are the same, but the subtle differences in altitude, rainfall, and small-scale airflow also create a taste that is both similar and different. Fuding, with its superior overall environment, is like a beautiful crystal with many facets, each with its own brilliance.
Among them, the one that is still rare and precious today is the Fuding Wilderness Baihao Silver Needle. The Wilderness Baihao Silver Needle in Fuding is close to the Dongting Biluochun in green tea, and the energy required to make and pick it is more than Shifeng Longjing.
For picking only, behind the word “wilderness”, for tea, it is a primitive state of complete symbiosis with nature, and for tea pickers, it means that the difficulty of picking is multiplied – every time you pick, you have to go through the thorns. The first line of defense built by Lala’s ghost needle grass and Xanthium, both hands on the tea tree surrounded by hairy zigzag weed leaves, probed again and again, and repeated hundreds of times.
Just like Niulankeng in Wuyi Rock Tea and Laobanzhang in Pu’er Tea, Wild Pekoe Silver Needle, especially Pekoe Silver Needle grown in tea gardens in the high-altitude mountain farm of Fuding Fenxi Dayang Mountain, can only be grown in good weather. Picking, and picking only once a year. Precious has led to many imitators, which has led to the current market chaos. To find silver needles in the wilderness, it is often necessary to rely on the small fish leaf under the tender sprout as the quality proof of the wild head picking. This piece of fish leaf, also called overwintering leaf, can only be found in the real wild Baihao Yinzhen, which is harvested only once a year. This seemingly small fish leaf stores the energy of the tea tree that has accumulated throughout the year.
Also able to drink the breath of the forest, there is the native tea tree in Fujian, also called vegetable tea. Vegetable tea is grown in Jianyang, Songxi, Zherong and other places, but Zherong alpine white tea has a typical white tea taste with its subtle variety of fragrance and natural environmental advantages that can be sun-dried. At first, a touch of floral fragrance reverberated softly in the tongue, and when the tea soup fell, the mellow hair immediately grew from the throat, delicate, strong, and heavy, and it was imprinted in my mind at once .
Rooted downward and grown upward, the original strong taste is also reflected in the Fuding White Peony.

The sun is completely withered, and under the bright sunny sun along the coast, irritating substances such as Fuding white tea green gas are eliminated, the tea leaves are matured, and the floral fragrance gradually reaches the tip of the tongue. Under the boiling water, the floral fragrance is more pronounced, and it tastes like a wild flower blooming on the high mountains. The strong and bright floral fragrance is domineering and direct. In a bubble, the floral elements contained in the tea become more and more. Outgoing, and showing a gradually rich taste , the smell is leisurely, the taste is mellow, and everything is covered.
The elegance of the Hokkien people is fully reflected in a cup of Jianyang narcissus white tea. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Jianyang was one of the production areas of tribute tea, and it was also the birthplace of the narcissus, the most famous variety of Wuyi. Narcissus, as a tea tree variety for making rock tea, originally shows that the variety itself can withstand tossing, endogenous and sweet. In Jianyang, which is adjacent to Wuyi Mountain, narcissus makes cups and cups of Jianyang narcissus white tea, which is very oriental and beautiful. The amber-colored tea soup is fragrant and subdued, the waxy softness fills the tongue step by step, the pipa is half-covered, and stops at every step, completely subverting the inherent impression of ordinary white tea .
Domineering, elegant, wild, handsome, soft, light… all kinds of white tea flavors deep in the mountains and forests, how can you miss it. We have searched many times and collected typical white tea varieties from Fuding, Jianyang, Zherong, Songxi and other four places, which can represent the local flavor of the year, and made [Huajianji White Tea Flavor Sample] . Fuding white peony, Jianyang narcissus white tea, Zherong alpine white tea, Songxi Kowloon white peony, the four landscape fragments present the multi-faceted taste of Fuding white tea.
According to the research report of Fujian Agricultural University, the organic acids that dominate the umami, sweetness intensity and taste quality of white tea can also inhibit intestinal pathogenic bacteria. Drink properly.
At the same time , the [Limited Unlocking Wilderness Baihao Silver Needle] from Fuding Fenxi Dayangshan, a well-recognized mountain farm by tea people, was also launched. The wild white tea, which is only picked once a year, and whose output is extremely rare and unstable, has the fragrance of flowers and green grass and woods in the depths of the forest slowly and slowly spread out, and the aftertaste is full of sweetness. The product research and development director of Sanlian Tea, Mr. Chen Chongmu, supervised the production. The wild, head-picked, and sun- dried. The forest atmosphere in the mountains and clouds is fully hidden. It only has 10 pounds . If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year.
When the spring is dry, the original strong taste of white tea spreads out, and it only needs a cup of wild white tea rich in organic acids to reach the greenery by the Qingqing River.
As Tsvetaeva wrote in the poem: listen like this / like the mouth of a river / listen intently to your source / sniff like this deeply / sniff a/little flower until the perception vanishes. In the hot summer, I hope we can all have such a quiet time to drink, in the natural and authentic taste of white tea, let our minds breathe freely and breathe freely in the depths of the deserted forest.
