Genuine white tea comes from the fujian province in China, today I am in Fuding a region renowned for white tea. The Fuding mountains, despite being surrounded in mist, are an impresive back drop for the rolling tea estates.
The real white tea is plucked from 'the big white' tea bush, the needles are downy and soft if plucked early in the morning. The taste is fresh and melon like.
There is an art to plucking tea, the hat doesn't help.....
