Fujian Baihao福建白毫

In the cup, Fujian Baihao is best understood as a green tea built around floral, sweet, and creamy. The secondary notes of quiet supporting notes give it more range than a simple category label suggests, while the aroma leans toward a restrained aroma. Expect a light body and a finish that shows the tea most clearly after the first few sips.

The origin matters here. Fujian Baihao is associated with Fujian in China, so the page should be read as a profile of both tea style and place. Subtropical climate, mountainous terrain. Birthplace of oolong, white, and black tea. That context helps explain why two teas in the same broad family can taste noticeably different.

Processing is the other major clue: green tea is typically halted oxidation through early heat-fixing, so the finished tea keeps a fresh, high-toned profile. For Fujian Baihao, the oxidation level is 2% when measured on a simple scale.

For brewing, start near 80C with about 3g per 100ml. The first infusion at roughly 120 seconds should show the tea's structure without over-extracting it; later steeps can move in 5-second increments. Because the expected range is about 3 infusions, this tea is better judged across a session than from one long steep.

When buying Fujian Baihao, use price as a quality signal but not the only one. A common mid-range benchmark is around $25-$60 per 50g. Look for clean aroma, credible origin naming, and leaf appearance that matches the style before paying premium prices.
