Wild Highland Tea from Yaoshan

Wild Highland Tea from Yaoshan

　　   White Tea (named for the white frost on its surface, commonly called Tengpo Tea), is a precious wild highland tea from Yaoshan. It grows deep in the mountains, beside clear springs, nourished year-round by thick mist and untouched by any air pollution. It tastes sweet after brewing and leaves a long-lasting fragrance. White tea is rich in vitamins and various macro and trace elements (such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, etc.), and also contains nutrients such as chlorophyll and sugar. According to the *Compendium of Materia Medica* and pharmacological research, white tea has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting urination and bowel movements, whitening skin, removing spots, and relieving smoke and alcohol. Tea cakes made from Tengpo Tea were taken abroad by our ancestors hundreds of years ago and gained fame across Southeast Asia.
