I don't think i ever had that white tea yet I'll have to try it some time. i tried one called lapsang souchong it said it was supposed to have a smoky flavor but I'm not sure what they meant. it wasn't bad. one tea said it had a gunpowder flavor i wonder what they meant it can't really be gun powder they drank. hehe. i saw a tea once called dong ding tea (I didn't make that up really :) ) I'm not sure what that stuff is hehe but the name was funny. hold on and I'll find that page i saw it on the other day. I'm back here it is :) it's on this page http://store.yahoo.com/harneyteas/index.html
Ps i think that was that place that cost a lot for there tea so i never got around to getting any from them. but i wanna try that white tea somewhere sometime. Ps did you ever dream of drinking tea? i think this page had dreams of tea mentioned but i don't remember ever dreaming of tea yet. http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/te/tea.html
The name "gunpowder" refers to the way the tea looks, it has a granular, grayish appearance, much like gunpowder.
Loose tea is generally a bit cheaper than tea bags. 1 pound of tea can make 200 cups, so an "expensive" tea that costs $100 a pound is really just 50 cents a cup. And with some green, white, and puerh varieties you can reuse the leaves to make even more tea.
