Special Local Products of Tianmu Lake – What Souvenirs to Buy

Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty wrote a tea monograph titled Treatise on Tea of Daguan. In the chapter about white tea, he recorded: "White tea is a unique category distinct from ordinary tea. Its branches stretch gently, and its leaves are lustrous and thin… When cultivated and processed properly, its interior and surface glow clear and pure like unpolished jade, unmatched by any other tea."

White tea boasts ornamental, nutritional and economic value. Its tender spring tea shoots and leaves are pale white, typically picked as one bud with two unfolding leaves. White tea contains 1 to 2 times more theanine than regular tea varieties, and regular consumption helps the human body better resist viral infections. Liyang is a prime producing area for premium white tea. Top-grade white tea is as precious as gold and a must-try delicacy.
