Fujian Mingqian White Tea Harvest

Fujian Mingqian White Tea Harvest

We source many of Rishi’s reserve-quality 1st Flush white teas from this garden in Fuding, the traditional origin of white tea in China’s coastal Fujian province. White tea represents tea in perhaps its simplest, most noble form. Tender buds and sprouts are plucked in early spring, then simply withered and dried to preserve and celebrate their exquisite character and delicately sweet flavor.
