Yantai White Tea

Yantai White Tea

　　   Yantai White Tea is produced in Yantai Village, Minle Township, Jinggu County, and has a history of more than 140 years. It is well-known for its elegant appearance, prominent white pekoe, delicate fragrance with a lingering aftertaste, and clear tea liquor. Due to its historically limited cultivation and scarce production, it is particularly precious and counts among Yunnan’s eight most celebrated teas. In the Qing Dynasty, it was ranked as a high-quality tribute to the royal court, called "White Dragon Beard Tribute Tea," and was highly favored by the emperor and his ministers. (Simao)
