An excellent introduction to rare white tea. This less expensive white tea has an abundance of silvery white buds and green leaves.
A mix of silver-green long tips (or buds) and forest green leaves. This tea is made after the harvest of the Chinese Silver Needle (aka YinZhen). The growers allow some leaves to mature, and then they harvest. Like with a silver needle, little is done other than to allow the tea to dry inside a barn. Although the leaves look green, this is a white tea because of the production method.
