Notes
What is Winter Leaf White Tea?
Simply put, it refers to large tea leaves plucked in winter. Late winter is typically the pruning period for tea trees, yet the wild tea trees are covered with thick, gel-rich large leaves at this time—these are the raw materials for Winter Leaf White Tea. Hence, it’s known as a unique gem among Fuding white teas, with glossy, lustrous leaves.
