White tea is a specialty of China, mainly produced in Fujian Province. The surface of the dry white tea is densely covered with white downy hairs. The formation of its quality characteristics comes from, first, being made by picking young tender buds and leaves that are rich in downy hairs, and second, from adopting a drying and baking process in production that involves neither pan-firing nor rolling. At present, there are not many types of white tea, divided into bud tea (Baihao Yinzhen, also known as Silver Needle) and leaf tea (such as Gongmei). The production process is simple. The production process of Baihao Yinzhen is: tea buds, withering, baking, screening and sorting, re-firing, packing. The process of Bai Mudan (White Peony) and Gongmei is: fresh leaves, withering, baking (or shade drying), picking and sorting
