Fine Fuding Baihao Yinzhen from 2019
A true gem among white teas! This exquisite tea from the Fuding region in Fujian province delights with its naturally sweet note, refined with delicate honey aromas and aromas of ripe fruit and chamomile blossoms.

The difference between young and mature Baihao Yinzhen
Young Baihao Yinzhen (e.g. 2025)
Scent: Fresh, floral with an intense "hair down" aroma (Hao Xiang) and notes of fresh hay, melon and citrus.
Taste: Lively, delicately sweet and invigorating, with a light, grassy freshness. The finish is immediate and crisp.
Mature Baihao Yinzhen (e.g. 2019)
Scent: Deep, soft and complex with dominant honey and mélange aromas, dried fruits and a warm, woody note.
Taste: Soft, silky, and rounded in the mouth. The sweetness is deeper and reminiscent of honey or rock candy. The freshness gives way to a long-lasting, soothing warmth.
Climate of Fuding Panxi
Climate and altitude of Fuding Panxi
The Panxi tea region in Fuding is characterized by its mild, maritime climate with high humidity and frequent fog year-round. These conditions, combined with the nutrient-rich soils, are ideal for growing white tea.
The average altitude of the tea gardens in Panxi lies between 400 and 600 meters above sea level. These moderate elevations, with their cool temperatures and frequent cloud cover, allow for a slow, aromatic growth of the tea leaves, which significantly contributes to the unique delicacy and sweetness of Baihao Yinzhen.
