It's most likely true in the case of silver needles, certain not for
baimudan. Whatever.

The article appears to support the conclusion that white tea, not to mention
the homocentric race, is harmful to rats, mice, and trout. Since I have
befriended variouis mice and rats over the years, with whom I have taken tea
daily, I fear that the moral implications of the article might be lost in
the mire of the pseudo-science. Linus, not withstanding.
