Baishinya Tea

Baishinya Tea

　　Baishinya Tea is produced in Baishinya, located within the Shiwandashan National AAAA-level Nature Reserve in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi — a stunning area at an altitude of about 1,215 meters. The tea plants grow in the crevices of cliffs, drawing the essence of nature and benefiting from exceptional ecological conditions that nurture this uniquely flavored, all-natural beverage.

　　Baishinya is shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, with short sunlight hours and abundant rainfall. This results in tea buds and leaves with low levels of bitterness and high levels of sweetness. The buds and leaves are tender, with thick mesophyll and high pectin content. The tea leaves are vibrant green, the infusion is bright, the taste is refreshing with a lingering sweet aftertaste, and the aroma is rich, leaving a pleasant fragrance in the mouth. After drinking, one feels refreshed and invigorated, savoring the experience endlessly. Hence, there is a local saying: In the 12th year of the Guangxu Emperor’s reign (1886), when General Liu Yongfu returned to his long-missed hometown in Xiaofeng Brigade, Yaopo Stone (Gusendong), Naqin Commune, Qinzhou County, Guangdong — a place he hadn’t seen in years — he was utterly captivated by this fine tea. He immediately composed a poem: “White clouds and emerald bamboo frame the peak’s odd grace; / The rugged cliff glows with jeweled beauty in its place. / The tea’s hue, like silver, lives through ages long; / Its fragrance wafts far, a lingering, sweet song.”

　　Testing by the Tea Quality Supervision and Testing Center of the Ministry of Agriculture revealed that Baishinya Tea contains 16% flavonoids, 14.4% tea polyphenols, 0.4% amino acids, and various other elements beneficial to human health. Made from tender buds using scientific processes and techniques adapted from traditional green tea production, Baishinya Tea is a new type of health drink. It features a fresh green color, a refreshing and sweet taste, a strong aroma, and excellent infusability.

　　A premium tea variety, Baishinya is a shrub-like green tea. It has a gray-green or emerald-green appearance and emits a rich aroma reminiscent of roasted chestnuts. The leaf base shows frosty spots, and the leaves are thicker than those of other teas. When brewed with boiling water, the infusion yields a clear green soup with bright, distinct leaves. It tastes sweet and refreshing, quenches thirst, stimulates saliva production, leaves a lasting fragrance on the teeth, and has a long-lasting aftertaste. Baishinya Tea is in high demand and has become a rare and treasured tea variety, often regarded as one of Fangchenggang City’s most distinctive specialties.
