Fu Jian White Tea 1.Origin: Fujian Province, China Temperature: 175–190°F Caffeine: 6–75 mg per cup 2.What Is White Tea? White tea is comprised of young, springtime tea leaves that are traditionally grown in the Fujian province of China. The dried tea is known for its withered small leaves and buds that look slightly fuzzy. When brewed, it is typically light gold in color with a floral fragrance. Depending on the type of white tea, the flavor can range from woody to sweet to floral with light, fruity notes. When brewed properly, it is usually less bitter and assertive than black tea. 3.After white tea leaves are harvested, the leaves are withered and then dried immediately after harvest using natural sunlight, heat vents, or drying chambers. This helps prevents oxidization, giving the tea a light flavor and color and preserving some of the prized benefits of tea, such as antioxidants. The characteristics of the tea can vary depending on its region of origin. 4.Uses White tea is typically consumed freshly brewed and hot. Because of its subtle flavor, sweeteners and milk are not typically added, and it is often served on its own or with a light snack. A morning or afternoon tea break is the perfect way to fully appreciate this delicate hot tea. 5.How to Drink White Tea White tea should be brewed at a relatively low temperature in order to maintain the tea's fresh characteristics. Use clean, pure water (not distilled) that is not yet boiling, ideally 175 to 190 F. Note that water boils at 212 F, so the water should be hot but not quite simmering. Most white teas will need to steep for as little as one minute or up to five minutes. Some varieties will become astringent and bitter if left to steep for too long, or brewed with water that's too hot.
