Echoing the elegance of the Song Dynasty, the aroma lingers for millennia. Wuwei, Wuhu—blessed land that borders the Yangtze River to the south and leans on Chaohu Lake to the north—has been a tea cradle since ancient times. Today, with a taste described as “fresh, floral & mellow” and a philosophy of “natural non-action,” Wuwei White Tea is opening a brand-new chapter for Wuhu’s tea industry.

One Terroir, One Delicate Flavor

Wuwei White Tea is mainly grown in the southwestern mountain areas such as Kunshan and Yanqiao. Located on the remaining ridges of the Dabie Mountains, the region is lofty, densely forested and often shrouded in mist. The Northern-Song poet Yang Jie once praised: “White clouds seal off the three mountain peaks,” a perfect portrayal of this land.

Superior ecology: Tea gardens sit 200–600 m above sea level; natural rotten-stone soil and emerald bamboo slopes forge a unique habitat for white tea.

Green cultivation: Physical pest control and biological prevention are promoted across the board; organic fertilizers replace chemical ones, ensuring purity from the very source.

Uniform quality: Over 95 % of gardens grow the “White Leaf No. 1” cultivar—highly disease-resistant and top-grade—laying a solid base for a regional brand.

Quality Forged, Honors Earned

Thanks to its outstanding intrinsic quality, Wuwei White Tea has repeatedly excelled in recent tea competitions, winning broad market recognition and high authoritative praise.

Tea & Tourism Fusion, 

Empowering Rural Revitalization

Using tea as a medium, Wuwei City is actively exploring a deep “tea-culture-tourism” integration, letting one leaf vitalize an entire landscape.

White Tea Picking Festival: The four-time “Wuwei · Kunshan White Tea Picking Festival” has become a cultural-tourism brand that combines leaf-plucking, tea-making, tea-tasting and sightseeing, drawing huge crowds.

Tea-culture spaces: Kunshan Town White Tea Exhibition Hall, Shushan Town Xiao-tea Eco-Park, and Kaicheng Town Tea-culture Experience Center have been completed one after another, forming a full display & experience network.

Premium tourist routes: A new lake-mountain integrated highway and upgraded “Sichuan–Tibet Line” feeder roads now string together Sangong Mountain, Zhusi Lake and other scenic spots, creating an integrated “tour-stay-play” zone.

Staying on the

 “Boutique & Premium” Path

Given its signature trait of “small scale yet top quality,” the Wuwei White Tea industry has reached a consensus: dig deep along the “boutique & premium” route, winning the market through uniqueness and quality.

Brand deepening: The sector jointly promotes the regional public brand “Wuwei White Tea,” which has been accredited as a “National Famous, Special & Premium New Agricultural Product” and “Wanmei Agricultural Product,” continuously lifting brand value and visibility.

Standards safeguard: The industry actively advances standardization, formulating the Technical Regulations for Green Production of Wuwei White Tea and filing group standards, laying a solid foundation for stable, excellent quality.

Cultural infusion: Upholding the unique philosophy of “natural non-action,” the industry markets a free, easy, peaceful tea lifestyle to consumers who pursue high quality, offering fine tea and cultural tea.

Emerging from a thousand-year tea history and growing amid green mountains and misty clouds, Wuhu Wuwei White Tea is not merely a leaf, but an expression of lifestyle and a conveyance of cultural philosophy.

In the future, as brand influence keeps rising and tea-tourism integration deepens, this “golden leaf” from the mountains and waters is destined to carve out its own fresh chapter on the map of Anhui’s tea industry—and indeed Chinese tea culture.
