Chinese White Tea: Uses and Varieties
Introduction
Chinese white tea is a rare delicacy, primarily due to most of it being exported. While Chinese tea drinkers have long appreciated its benefits, it was virtually unknown outside Asia until recently. Today, chefs and medical researchers alike praise its delicate flavor and potential health benefits.
What is Chinese White Tea?
Though sometimes considered a subclass of green tea, Chinese white tea is distinct. It is slightly fermented, with buds covered in fluffy white hairs. Harvested in early spring, these delicate buds are meticulously plucked and processed. They are dried naturally, either in sunlight or with low heat, without allowing any oxidation?"a step that sets it apart from oolong, black, and pu-erh teas. This results in a flavor closely resembling fresh tea leaves.
Types of Chinese White Tea
Chinese white tea is divided into different varieties, the most renowned being Silver Tip and White Peony. Here’s a closer look:
Silver Tip White Tea
Produced in the Fuding and Zhenghe regions of Fujian province, Silver Tip is considered a top-grade white tea. Single buds, plucked when ready to open, are covered in silvery hairs, giving the tea its name. Often described as "white like cloud, green like dream, pure like snow, aromatic like orchid," the buds stand upright in the cup when infused, resembling bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
White Peony Tea (Pai Mu Dan)
Made from the buds and leaves left after Silver Tip harvesting, White Peony tea is sweet and mild yet full-bodied. It has a darker cup color and a bolder aroma, with a natural sweetness that ties it closely to Silver Tip.
Gong Mei
This third-grade white tea is made from leaves of the Xiao Bai or Small White tea trees.
Shou Mei
A fruity, furry white tea, Shou Mei is a blend of tips and upper leaves. It has a stronger flavor, akin to oolong, and is plucked later than White Peony, often resulting in a darker color.
Conclusion
These exquisite varieties are now becoming popular in America, and experts predict that consumers will soon embrace Chinese white tea as one of the hottest new trends in the food industry.
