Fuding Semi-black: White Tea with a Twist (Source: https://www.teaguardian.com/quality-varieties/tea-varieties/fuding-semi-black-white/)

A new tea difficult to name

This is a new tea variety produced by combining the processing methods of White Peony and gongfu black tea, though the rolling and “fermentation” is much reduced. One producer who makes this refers to it using the name of a mass-market white tea, the so-called “New Technique White Tea” 新工藝白茶, which is basically a machine processed and harsher tasting version of White Peony, otherwise known as Shoumei, the popular dim sum restaurant tea.

But it is not that. For one thing, it is a lot more expensive because of the pluck quality and labor that are required. It tastes a lot finer.

One calls it Baihao Oolong 白毫烏龍, which is known also as White Hair Oolong, Bingfeng Oolong, Champagne Oolong, Oriental Beauty, Dongfang Meiren, etc, the famous Taiwan export that once was appointed by the British monarch in the late 19th century. But it is not that either, although, by the manner of fermentation processing, they are very similar. The Taiwan version, basically not an oolong in the true tea definition, is more like a black tea, although not totally. The tea cultivar is very different.

Tasting

Fuding Semi-Black White has all the taste characters of Fuding White Peony in addition to the fruity aroma and floral sweetness of a Bailin Gongfu Black, although not as prominent. This renders a lot more body and tastes dynamic, rather like a cocktail.

I’d say it is light and lively like a white peony, smooth and quite round, and fruity and floral like a Minhong Gongfu, though not so full-body, deep and substantial. It should serve well as a casual and daily tea.

The tea is flexible like other white teas and can be infused well at around 90°C.
