Fu Ding Tea

I picked this up while I was living in China last year after spending a few hours drinking tea with a shop owner down a street called “Tea City” where a bunch of old Chinese guys hang out and drink and sell tea, no other foreigners in sight.

The cake itself isn’t very aromatic- it smells like dry leaves. Once steeped there is a slight floral/autumn day kind of aroma.

It is incredibly light in both color and flavor- slightly astringent, my third and fourth steeping was incredible. This kind of white tea lowers your blood pressure; and I feel it after a few cups. I feel mellow, relaxed, and really peaceful!

Too bad I can’t find out any more imformation on this cake! I spent a lots of time trying to find it online but I can’t seem to! I’m looking forward to trying more 福鼎白茶 cakes to compare!
