Term · Classification
new-craft white tea
Literal meaning
new-process white tea
Definition#
White tea with a light rolling step after withering, giving curled leaf and a darker, fuller liquor. The China Tea Society primer dates it to 1968 at the Fuding Bailin factory, made at the request of Hong Kong merchants and baked at about 120 °C; a Xiamen group standard (citing DB35/T 1076-2010) defines 新白茶 as population-cultivar shoots of one bud and one to three leaves, withered, lightly rolled, dried and sorted.
