Turkish Tea Glasses

I don't understand why there aren't more white teas, less processing equals more profit. Or is it just historical infrastructure where oxidation and fermentation survived longer sea voyages. You can say anything you want about white tea taste but it is more natural than any other. I'm still not sure if that taste is the same as plucking the plant and brewing fresh leaves in a pot. My secret to white tea is more leaf in a larger pot and longer brewing times. In a way white tea is the hardiest in the sense it doesn't give up its taste easily which doesn't translate to consumerism. The average consumer will see the Snapple commercial and wonder where is the taste?

Drying the leaves in the sun takes more time and space - though less fuel - than using artificial heat. It also depends on the climate and weather.

Hi to you guys, Michael, Nigel... I have tried white teas from india but I really liked the chinese ones better, And I have tried african green and black. They were ok but a little bitter if I didnt drink them quickly. I have seen and drank beautiful tea displays too. Most of them were not tasty but a nice presentation nonetheless. White tea that I like all have become more tasty and you can even get more complexities from them on subsequent brewings and they can sit for a while wothout getting bitter. I drink alot of tea at home where it may have to sit inbetween housework, chatting, laundry, gardening etc...... Nigel, How do these african white teas hold up to time and how do you brew them to get this awesome taste you speak of. I am always anxious to hear everyones opinion. Has anyone else tried them too? Where may I purchase a sample size of this? NIgel do you vend? Well I just drink and drink... Jenn enjoying some cold umm... room temp rougui... yum I get distracted by star trek, the mail man and my computer to drink all hot stuff.

Hi Jenn

You are very right about the multiple steeping capabilities of good white teas and their forgiving nature when abused. And since you ask, these African Whites are exclusively available at my daughter's Nothing But Tea website:

- well exclusive until some of our tea distributors start selling them for us. You will find six hand made Malawi Whites there - needles and peony, and I am continuing experimentation in Malawi so many more types and tastes are on their way.

You will also find our Georgian hand made teas on that page - soon to be expanded to include some additional new season Georgian offerings. I (to my shame) had always treated the Georgian hand made teas as black teas (boiling water, one steep) until Carol Sims of Tea Embassy in Austin TX who is a great enthusiast for them told me she steeps them up to four times with slightly cooler water (190 deg F).
