Fuding Dahao White Tea 50g

Fuding Dahao White Tea (福鼎大毫白茶) is a premium Chinese white tea made from the Dahao (大毫) cultivar, grown in Fuding, Fujian Province — the birthplace of authentic white tea.

🌿 What is Fuding Dahao White Tea?
“Fuding” (福鼎): A region in northeastern Fujian, famous for producing top-tier white teas.

“Dahao” (大毫): Refers to the “Big Hair” cultivar of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis var. dahao), known for its abundant white hairs (trichomes) on the buds and leaves.

Often used to produce:

Baihao Yinzhen (Silver Needle) – using only the buds

Baimudan (White Peony) – using buds and first leaves

Shoumei / Gongmei – lower-grade leaves, more aged

Characterized by a fuller, more robust flavor compared to other cultivars like Fuding Dabai (大白)
