Default Black and White tea: Part II

Hey all,

My first post to this NG was about a most special tea that came from a
most un-special place: Avon. My sister bought me this "Feng Shui Tea
Set" for a present (one of the only photo's online of it:
http://avon.youravon.com/shared/mana...esstable1.html)

My original post had only a few takers, so now that some of you know me
a bit better I figured I'd try again. The tea came in a nondescript
foil pouch that has no distinguishing characteristics beyond being
shiny and foil-like. In black text it proclaims "Black and White Tea"
It is a blend of about 90% black tea and 10% white. The tea is just
about one of the best teas I have ever drank (honestly) and actually
high quality. I can't for the life of me re-create the tea blend. I
also cannot get any info from Avon as they stopped selling this a
decent while ago and even speaking to the buyer turned up nothing.

I have a small amount left. I would be willing to send off half of what
is left for someone to try to analyze. When I get home I will take a
high-res photo and post it for visual inspection. It figures of all the
tea in China, I am stuck on this... a tea I cannot buy even with all
the money in the world. It has a delightfully sweet characteristic to
it and the black tea is not overpowering. I have ruled out Keemun I
believe as a possibility. I'm not a black tea person so there are many
I am ignorant of or have never tasted to compare against.

Thanks to any and all responses,
- Dominic
