Cicheng White Tea

Cicheng White Tea

　　 Cicheng White Tea is a specialty of Cicheng Town, Jiangbei District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. Not only is Sanqin Village known for its seafood, but the “Cicheng Brand” white tea produced here is also widely renowned. In 2006, it was recognized as a green agricultural product, an organic food, and received a series of honors including being named a well-known trademark of Ningbo City.

　　 Ningbo Jiangbei Lüming White Tea Co., Ltd. mainly produces the “Cicheng” brand of white tea. This tea is made from the tender leaves of a rare varietal — a young tea plant whose buds and leaves exhibit albinism. The tea has a slender, curly appearance. The white buds and leaves are harvested from spring shoots that sprout when temperatures are below 22°C, and the cultivation is carried out in high-altitude, low-temperature areas using organic farming methods. It is a pure, natural, and pollution-free tea treasure. Its amino acid content is more than double that of regular tea, while its tea polyphenol content is less than half. The tea exhibits “three marvels”: fresh leaves are snow-white, dried tea is rimmed with golden yellow, and the leaf base is milky white; the tea offers “three extremes”: the broth is emerald green, the leaves are exceptionally fresh, and the aroma is incredibly rich, earning it the title of one of the finest teas among hundreds.

　　 The company’s tea plantation is located in Cicheng Town, Jiangbei District, Ningbo City, covering an area of 1,000 acres. It is far from urban areas and mostly situated in low mountainous terrain, offering an outstanding ecological environment. Ningbo Jiangbei Lüming White Tea Co., Ltd. has a long history in tea cultivation and production, and has accumulated extensive experience. The company has established the “White Tea Production Process and Technical Standards,” and strictly adheres to the Q/LM01-2002 standards for production and processing.

　　 In 2001, the tea won the Gold Award at the Zhejiang “Longding Cup”; in 2002, it received the Gold Award at the China Premium Teas Expo and the Quality Award at the Zhejiang Agricultural Expo.
