They are then dried in the sun and are not subjected to a strong oxidation process. Young buds and leaves are covered with a white fuzz, to which it owes its name.

How to prepare Fujian White tea

Fujian White tea leaves are brewed in Europe at a water temperature of about 80 degrees C for 2-5 minutes using about 1g of dried material per 100 ml of water. Brewing is repeated 1-2 times. In Asia, white tea is traditionally first "wake up" by pouring hot water on it for a very short time. This infusion drains quickly and only brews properly and again briefly, i.e. about half a minute. You can brew several times (3-5 times) for about 10 seconds longer each time. But the dose of dried herb is much higher there, even 3-5g for a similar amount of water as above. Each subsequent brewing brings a milder brew. The color of Fujian White infusions is light and delicate.

The first infusion has stimulating, refreshing properties, while the following ones are calming and relaxing.
