Langfu Organic Baihao Tea

Langfu Organic Baihao Tea

　　The tea plantation in Langfu Village, Shali Township, Lingyun County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was established in 1988. Trial planting of Lingyun Baihao tea began in 1991, with large-scale cultivation starting after 1998. By 2001, the plantation had expanded to 180.7 hectares, consisting of 12 tea fields of varying sizes, with dense forested buffers separating each field. The surrounding area features abundant pristine vegetation, crisscrossing streams, and an exceptionally pristine natural environment. In 2002, the Langfu Tea Plantation was certified as an organic tea production base by the EU’s International Ecological Certification Center.

　　Lingyun Baihao tea buds are plump and tender, and after processing, the leaves are tightly rolled with slight curves, covered in visible white down. The tea boasts a rich, long-lasting aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and a chestnut-like fragrance. It is also highly adaptable, and six major types of tea—green, black, white, oolong, yellow, and dark—have been developed from it, enjoying a high reputation both domestically and internationally. In addition to domestic sales, Lingyun Baihao tea is exported to Morocco, Ireland, Hong Kong, and Macau. This tea was once presented as a national gift to King Hassan II of Morocco, where it was treasured as the “finest tea in the world.” In 1991, it was awarded the title of National High-Quality Famous Tea by the China Agriculture Ministry's Tea Quality Supervision and Inspection Center; in 1992, it was included in the "Chinese Tea Classics"; in 1994, it was selected as part of China’s exhibition at the Ulaanbaatar International Trade and Industry Expo in Mongolia, winning the Third National “China Tea Cup” Award for Famous and High-Quality Teas, as well as Gold Awards in the black and yellow tea categories and a Silver Award in the green tea category at the Second and Third International Famous Teas Competition. The black tea also received the Japanese Standard Famous Tea Award. In 1999, it again won the National Third “China Tea Cup” Award for Famous and High-Quality Teas. In 2002, at the China Wuhu International Tea Expo, its black tea won a Gold Award and its green tea a Silver Award. At the 2002 China “Caijie Cup” Tea King Competition, its green tea won a Silver Award and its black tea a Quality Award.
