Black, green, and white teas all come from the same exact leaf, the difference lies in the processing. Black tea is stronger because it is rolled, then fermented before becoming a tea bag. Green is rolled, but not fermented, and white is all natural.

Shou Mei wasn't bad though to tell the truth I've had green teas I liked better. I just wish I could find Silver tip cheaper.

I live in the UK and white tea here is unbelievably expensive. 42g costs £12.50 at one place I know, which is $24 (US). I think I have the same tea that Peter got in Sydney though - it is the Sow Mee brand which I got in Sydney also for about $2. Seems great stuff, although mine says 'sunflower' on it, which I am not sure of the significance of. Is it made with sunflowers? Hi.

If so, I would put one teaspoon in for each 8 oz. of water. Peter — Is it loose tea? If so, I would put one teaspoon in for each 8 oz. of water.

While I would be happy to mail it to you, you might find it where you live. It should be @1.45 to 2.25 per ounce. Kind regards Jeff;

FOOJOY was the first brand i tried, and have since been trying to find the same quality a little cheaper, but to no avail. i've accepted that i have done enough experimenting, and 15 for 2.5 oz sounds just fine to me now, but i would appreciate any feedback i could get on this matter. thanks!
