Description
An Ji Bai Cha, or An Ji White Tea (in English) is so named because its
unprocessed tea leaves are almost completely white in color.
The tea
itself is actually a green tea.
There was a legend recorded in an ancient
900-year old Chinese book called "Da Guan Cha Lun" about a tea plant
with jade white leaves.
It remained a legend until 1980s, when a single
white tea bush (now known as the Ancestor of Bai Cha) was found in
An Ji County (Zhejiang province, China), and experts believe that this
was the tea plant that was mentioned in the book.
It was soon
cultivated for commercial purposes – An Ji Bai Cha is one of the teas
processed from the leaves picked from these tea plants.
The picking
season is very short, around 30 days in early spring season as once the
temperature increases, the leaves would start to turn green.
Research found that the tea plant has low chlorophyll and polyphenols
