White tea is rather subtle and light. I usually use the glass method to drink most of my greens/whites. It should come across as rather sweet, but you could miss out if you brew it too short. How do you plan to brew?

This is important as the brewing methods would be different. Danny

Anji is a green tea: http://sevencups.com/2006/05/07/the-...ine-white-tea/ And a delicious green tea it is! Alan

Anji White - brewing tips
Can't say for sure, Sample packet just says An Ji - White. Looking at the
golden tea house web site (who sent me the sample), the leaf looks like the An Ji Bai Cha item. Leaf is dull emerald green - broth is very, very light green - one could say almost white -- Cheers Mal Oz http://maloz.bigblog.com.au/index.do wrote in message oups.com...
