Baijiguan Tea Introduction
White cockscomb is one of the four famous tea bushes in Wuyi Mountain. The tea tree has peculiar buds and leaves, with light green and white in the green. In particular, the young leaves are thin and soft like cotton, forming a distinct two-color layer with the dark green old leaves. Its shape is like the cockscomb on the head of the white pheasant, so it is named White cockscomb. Due to its rare production, it has always been shrouded in a mysterious veil of “still unknown to the world”.
