Main products and their characteristics
| Silver Needle / Baihao Yinzhen | A key part of the Dingbai Zhen Hao collection. The current catalogue includes a 2026 first-grade Silver Needle in a 50 g tin. This is one listed specification, not the specification of every Silver Needle product. |
|---|---|
| Charcoal-roasted Silver Needle | The catalogue also lists Dingbai Zhen Hao 2026 charcoal-roasted wild Silver Needle, special grade, in a 500 g set of five 100 g boxes. “Wild” is part of the manufacturer’s product name. |
| White Peony / Bai Mudan | A dedicated product family, allowing buyers to explore white tea beyond all-bud Silver Needle. Choose a particular item before comparing grade, harvest year or packaging. |
| Shoumei | Examples include Dingbai Xiao Tian Xia 2020 Shoumei in several pack sizes and Cang Shou 2022 Shoumei in a 168 g box. The displayed raw-material year is distinct from the date of this profile. |
| Gongmei, combinations and named collections | The site also has Gongmei, combination-pack and Wang Chuanyi collection categories. These extend the range across different tea preferences and gift formats. |
White tea craft and the company’s history
The current official profile says Wang Chuanyi founded Dingbai and traces its predecessor to the state-owned Badou Tea Factory, beginning in 1950. This is presented as factory heritage, rather than the incorporation date of today’s company. Dingbai’s business remains closely tied to Fuding white tea and its production setting.
Dingbai describes its approach as 72-hour sun and natural withering followed by slow drying at low temperature. It also states an internal target of less than 5% moisture before storage and describes sealed, managed dry-storage arrangements. These are the company’s own process claims, not a universal recipe or an independent certification of every batch. “Seventy-two hours” refers to the overall withering approach described by the company and should not be read as 72 continuous hours in direct sun. Its sensory positioning emphasizes delicate downy aroma, honeyed notes and sweetness; actual flavour depends on the tea and its storage.
