Huangkeng Goujing "White Hair Tea"

Huangkeng Goujing "White Hair Tea"

　　Also known as "Silver Tip Tea," it has long been hailed as "Immortal Tea." Grown in the Yao ethnic mountain village of Goujing in Huangkeng Town, the tea thrives at an altitude of about 300 meters, surrounded by flowing streams and shrouded in mountain mist. Thanks to its unique geographical environment and distinctive climatic conditions, it has nurtured large-leaf white hair tea. The tea buds are robust and plump, with a striking display of white fuzz densely covering their tips. The finished tea is characterized by its fresh, fragrant aroma, a refreshing and mellow taste, and a clear, bright infusion with a slight golden hue, leaving a lasting and strong aftertaste. Especially notable is the "Grain Sprout Tea" harvested around the Qingming Festival, which appears snow-white like frost, and when brewed, releases a layer of downy fuzz that is dazzlingly beautiful. The main chemical components of white hair tea include 40.9% tea polyphenols, 1.67% amino acids, 48.32% water extractables, along with various vitamins such as C, B2, E, and P. In addition to being a beverage, white hair tea also has medicinal properties—it can treat heat-toxin illnesses (with older tea being more potent), and it helps prevent radiation, cancer, and television syndrome. Huangkeng White Hair Tea was awarded the title of Guangdong Province Famous Tea in 1992, the Provincial Silver Award in 1994, and the China Agricultural Fair Silver Award in 1995. It is a premium green food product.
