From the Fujian Province in China comes this spectacular rolled tea. Available land for farming in Fujian is limited, as the province is mountainous and has many forests, however tea cultivation and production is one of Fujian's major crops. In fact, once upon a time Fujian was the only place where white tea was produced.
These white-green pellets unfurl into one-inch long strands when brewed. Because of the tightly balled process, only a small quantity of tea is required to yield a pale, delicate, sweet brew.
Brew tea at 190º - steep for 2 minutes. Try multiple infusions (let the tea steep for approximately 15 seconds longer on each subsequent infusion).
