In addition to the differences in region and tea species, the white tea in the two places also has its own emphasis on the production technology, and the taste is naturally different.
Different regions and tastes
Although Fuding and Zhenghe belong to Fujian, their geographical environment is obviously different.
Fuding is close to the East China Sea, with mild climate, warm and humid, and abundant rainfall.
Fujian Fuding
In terms of taste, Fuding tea is sweet, especially Fuding has the most white silver needles and tastes like a fairy.
Fujian Zhenghe
However, compared with Zhenghe white tea, Fuding white tea has obvious freshness, but weak mellow feeling.
Zhenghe is located in the extension of Wuyi Mountain, belonging to the alpine region, with mellow tea fragrance and rich endoplasm.
Its Bai Mudan flower fragrance is rich, orchid flower fragrance is rich, and it has a unique flavor of Zhengshan Shan Ye.

Old tea drinkers are tongue-tied, so they naturally sum up this rule and choose white tea according to this point.
The difference between lobule and big leaf
Look at the picture first.
The same size of tea green, Fuding leaves will be smaller than Zheng He's, but there are more leaves.

The taste of amino acids in tea is fresh, refreshing and sweet.
The reason why white tea is so sweet and refreshing is mainly due to their tender buds and small white hairs that we can see with the naked eye.
The more tender the part, the more tea and the higher the amino acid.

So there is a concept, that is:
The amino acid content of lobular species is higher than that of big leaf species, and the content of delicate parts of lobular species is higher than that of coarse and old parts.
This is the reason why Fuding white tea is "sweet"; Politics and white tea are the main "wines".
Difference after aging
Old white tea with good quality will have jujube fragrance, medicinal fragrance and lotus fragrance after aging.
However, due to the different proportion of stems and leaves, they can collide with time to produce different flavors.

Feeling, Fuding white tea is refreshing and has a Shan Ye flavor, which is the fragrance of peaches, plums, pines and bamboos on the mountain.
Zhenghe white tea is the aroma of cypress and poplar in the mountains and old forest farms. It is as mellow as old wine and as thick as rice paste.
