Yunnan white tea uses large-leaf variety (Da Ye Zhong) while Fuding white tea uses small-leaf variety. The processing temperature differs (40-60°C vs 70-110°C), and the water extract content is significantly different (≥35% vs 28-30%). This results in Yunnan white tea being more full-bodied with stronger aftertaste, while Fuding white tea is more delicate and refined.
