Fuding White Tea: Aged Tea is Better

Tea News · Dec 08, 2025

 

Fuding White Tea contains abundant polyphenolic compounds, which have antioxidant and free radical-scavenging effects. It inhibits the formation of carcinogens, suppresses the carcinogenic process, hinders the proliferation of cancer cells, enhances immune function, indirectly kills tumor cells, prevents the covalent binding of carcinogens to human DNA, and inhibits the initiation and promotion stages of carcinogenesis. For the elderly, it may be an essential and beneficial beverage. The sufficient caffeine and catechins in Fuding White Tea help relax blood vessels, increase their effective diameter, promote vasodilation, and thereby lower blood pressure and reduce levels of plasma total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

Those who prefer drinking new tea should note that, due to its short storage time, new tea contains higher levels of unoxidized polyphenols, aldehydes, and alcohols, which can strongly irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa and easily trigger stomach issues. Therefore, new tea should be consumed sparingly, and tea stored for less than half a month should be avoided. However, Fuding White Tea is almost unaffected in this regard. When drinking the first infusion, since tea leaves may retain some pesticide residues from cultivation and processing, the first brew has a cleansing effect and should be discarded. However, Pinpinxiang's Fuding White Tea is an organic product, so the first infusion can also be tried.

Drinking tea on an empty stomach can dilute gastric juices, reduce digestive function, and increase the absorption rate of undesirable components in tea, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and weakness in the limbs. Drinking tea immediately after a meal is also not advisable, as tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which can react with iron in food to form new, difficult-to-dissolve compounds. Over time, this may cause iron deficiency in the body and even induce anemia. The correct approach is to drink tea one hour after a meal. Drinking tea during a fever is not recommended, as tea contains theophylline, which can raise body temperature, effectively "adding fuel to the fire" for a feverish patient.
