How are white tea grades divided?
White tea is mainly divided into four grades: white silver needle, white peony, Gongmei and Shoumei due to the different standards of tea plant varieties and fresh leaves picking.
1. White silver needle
Purely made with fat buds of large white tea or daffodil varieties. Because of its white dense cloth, white as silver, shape like a needle and named, its aroma is fresh, the soup color is yellowish, the taste is fresh, it is the best in white tea.
2. White peony
White peony is made from the one bud and one or two leaves of the short bud leaves of the large white tea tree or daffodil species, and is the best in white tea. Its green leaves are silvery-white and resemble flowers, hence the name.
3. Gongmei
The highest yielding variety of white tea accounts for more than half of the total white tea production. It is made from the two or three leaves of one bud of the vegetable tea tree.
4. Shoumei
Because the shape resembles the eyebrows of the long-lived old man, it is called shoumei. In Fuding, Shoumei's real name is "Coarse Tea Woman", which is a real "ration tea". However, many shoumei raw materials use thick old leaves with stems, which do have unique advantages over the so-called "high-grade tea" made of young leaves.
In general, the price of white tea is also different due to the division of grades, but the tea is not the best, and it is better to be palatable. Finally, remind everyone that the well-known Anji white tea is not white tea, but a kind of green tea.
