01Guide
White tea is often misunderstood as simply light tea. In Chinese tea, white tea is defined by processing, not color alone.
Fuding White Tea is one of the most important white tea systems. Silver Needle uses buds. White Peony includes buds and leaves. Shoumei uses more mature leaves and is often enjoyed daily or aged.
White tea is useful for PRIMTEA because it fits both knowledge and ritual: gentle, clear, seasonal and accessible to global beginners.
