Yaoshan White Tea

Last updated 2026-11-14 — Named for the white frost that forms on its surface, it is commonly called Tengpo Tea. This precious wild high-mountain tea from Yaoshan grows deep in the mountains, beside clear springs, nourished year-round by thick fog and untouched by any air pollution. It tastes sweet after brewing and leaves a long-lasting fragrance. The white tea is rich in vitamins, various macro and trace elements (such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese), and contains nutrients like chlorophyll and sugars. According to the *Compendium of Materia Medica* and pharmacological research, white tea has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting urination and bowel movements, brightening the skin, fading spots, and relieving smoke and alcohol intoxication. Tea cakes made from Tengpo Tea were taken abroad by our ancestors hundreds of years ago and gained fame across Southeast Asia.
