Because the tea grows on cliffs, it is difficult to pick. For this reason, Wulong tea is considered the most precious. White tea is as white as silver and its water is clear. It is mainly produced in Zhenhe and Fuding in Fujian Province. Scented tea, which smells of flowers, is unique to China.
Scented tea is made by mixing green tea with flower petals through an elaborate process.
Sweet osmanthus, jasmine, rose, orchid and plum flowers can all be used. Another special tea is called tightly-pressed tea lumps. The black tea or green tea is pressed into brick, cake, or ball shapes. The tea lump is convenient to store and transport and is popular with minority people in border regions, especially nomadic herdsmen. This kind of tea is mainly produced in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
