Is white tea green tea? There are six kinds of tea in China, namely black tea, green tea, white tea, black tea, yellow tea and oolong tea. Therefore, white tea does not belong to white tea, and the two kinds of tea belong to the same class.
white tea
White tea, a kind of micro-fermented tea, is a traditional famous tea created by tea farmers in China. One of the six major teas in China. Refers to a kind of tea that is picked, processed only by sun drying or slow fire drying without enzyme fixation or twisting.
White tea is a special treasure among teas in China. Because its finished tea is mostly bud head, full of white hair, as silver as snow, it is named. It has the quality characteristics of complete appearance buds, full of hair, fresh Qing Xiang, clear yellow-green soup color and light and sweet taste.
The main producing areas are Fuding in Fujian, Zhenghe, Xinzhou Old Street in Wuhan, Tianshan Mountain in Jiaocheng, Songxi, Jianyang and Jinggu in Yunnan.
The basic process includes withering, baking (or drying in the shade), picking and tempering. The main technology of Yunnan white tea is sun-drying, and the advantage of sun-drying green tea is that the taste keeps the original fragrance of tea. Withering is the key process to form the quality of white tea.
The main varieties of white tea are as follows: First Day Bud, Tianshan White, Baihao Silver Needle, Bai Mudan and Shoumei (Gongmei) due to different varieties of tea trees and different standards for picking raw materials (fresh leaves).
White tea has good medicinal properties. It has the effects of sobering up, clearing away heat and moistening lung, calming the liver and nourishing blood, diminishing inflammation and detoxicating, lowering blood pressure and reducing fat, relieving fatigue, etc., and has a unique and ingenious health care function, especially for physical discomfort and digestive dysfunction caused by excessive alcohol and tobacco, excessive greasy food and excessive liver fire.
green tea
Green tea is one of the main teas in China, which refers to a drink made from the new leaves or buds of tea trees without fermentation, and through the processes of enzyme fixation, shaping and drying. The color of its finished products and the brewed tea soup preserve the green style of fresh tea more. Drinking green tea regularly can prevent cancer, reduce fat and lose weight, and can also reduce nicotine damage to smokers.
Green tea is made without fermentation, which retains the natural substances of fresh leaves and contains many nutrients such as tea polyphenols, catechins, chlorophyll, caffeine, amino acids and vitamins. These natural nutrients in green tea have special effects on anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-cancer, sterilization and anti-inflammation, which are beyond the reach of other teas.
The main varieties of green tea are Biluochun, Emeishan Tea, Emei Xueya, Zhongyue Xiancha, Songfeng Green Tea, Gougunao, West Lake Longjing, Lushan Yunwu, Enshi Yulu, Dawu Green Tea, Shuangqiao Maojian Tea, Dawu Shoumei Tea, Jinguluhao Tea, Anji White Tea, Huangshan Mao Feng, Lu ‘an Guapian, Taiping Monkey Kui, Xinyang Maojian Tea, Rizhao Green Tea, Laoshan Green Tea, Xinyang Maojian Tea.
China produces a wide range of green tea. Henan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Shaanxi (southern Shaanxi), Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi and Fujian are the main green tea producing provinces in China.
The difference between white tea and green tea
1. The degree of fermentation is different
White tea, a kind of micro-fermented tea, is a traditional famous tea created by tea farmers in China. One of the six major teas in China. Refers to a kind of tea that is picked, processed only by sun drying or slow fire drying without enzyme fixation or twisting. It has the quality characteristics of complete appearance buds, full of hair, fresh Qing Xiang, clear yellow-green soup color and light and sweet taste.
Green tea is a kind of tea made without fermentation, which refers to a drink made by taking new leaves or buds of tea trees, without fermentation, fixing, shaping and drying. The color of its finished products and the brewed tea soup preserve the green style of fresh tea more. Drinking green tea regularly can prevent cancer, reduce fat and lose weight, and can also reduce nicotine damage to smokers.
2, the production process is different
The production process of white tea is simple and pure. Fresh leaves of white tea tree are picked according to seasonal requirements, and the number of bud leaves of picked tea leaves is determined according to the category of white tea. Only the buds are picked with white silver needles, one bud with one leaf or two leaves is Bai Mudan, and one bud with three leaves or four leaves is Shoumei. The whole production process is not fried, and it depends on the skill of the tea maker to make the tea green fully absorb the sunlight. There can be no carelessness in the process, and there is no way to make up for the mistakes.
Green tea is made from the new leaves or buds of newly picked tea trees by processes such as enzyme fixation, shaping and drying before fermentation. It is a pity that the nutrients lost in these processes, but green tea belongs to non-fermented tea, which retains more natural substances in green tea, with gains and losses.
3. Different shapes
The strongest visual feeling of white tea leaves is "wrapped in green makeup", most of which are gray-green, covered with silvery white hairs, and the buds are fat and beautiful.
Green tea is slender and curly, represented by Biluochun. It is covered with cilia, full of velvet, tight and thin, and spirally wound. Granular curly, dry tea is curly, into a ball, without fluff, round and compact, like pearls, gray or old green in color, often made of mature leaves, and the representative variety is Pingshuizhu tea.
4, the taste is different
White tea soup tastes sweet and smooth, and its main feature lies in its freshness, tenderness and fragrance. Just smelling the tea soup, you can find that there is a strong floral fragrance hovering above the teacup, which lasts for a long time, and the floral fragrance is crisp, which is in great contrast with the sweet taste.
The content of tea polyphenols in green tea is higher than that in white tea, which gives people a more intense feeling. If you brew green tea in a glass, especially green tea with delicate buds, you can enjoy some wonders, just like a fairy dancing in the water with long sleeves and flowing lightly, hiding and restrained, and flowing profusely.
5, the effect is different
White tea can play a very good role in lowering the three highs, which refer to hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. Facing these frequent diseases in middle age, white tea is rich in aminophylline, tea polysaccharide and tea polyphenols, which has a miraculous effect on the prevention and treatment of the above-mentioned "rich diseases".
As a non-fermented tea, the natural substances in green tea are perfectly preserved, and the contents of tea polyphenols and caffeine are particularly rich, almost above 85%, which directly forms the characteristics of green tea with clear soup and strong taste convergence. According to the results of scientific research, green tea contains flavonoids, which can resist oxidation well, prevent blood coagulation and platelet aggregation, and has a miraculous effect on preventing cardiovascular diseases.
To sum up, white tea is not green tea, and green tea is not white tea. There are fundamental differences between them, with different quality characteristics, different places of origin and different effects.

Introduction: Fuding White Tea is a specialty of fuding city, Fujian Province, and a symbol product of chinese national geography. In June 2004, the former State General Administration of Quality Supervision officially approved "Fuding White Tea" as a geographical indication protection product. As the saying goes, "One year’s tea, three years’ medicine and seven years’ treasure." This shows that white tea becomes old white tea after passing through Fang Chen, and its medicinal value and drinking value are also higher. To make white tea, there must be old white tea, which has become the consensus of many tea merchants. The 93-degree old white tea stands out among many old white tea brands by virtue of its innovation and excellent quality.
