I have nothing but most profound respect for each and every one of you and
now back to poo poo puerh.....

I have it on authority -- whether good remains to be seen and here I hope
you will help -- that Bai Hao is produced with the assistance of a little
leaf hopper (insect) that nibbles the fringes of the leaves and thereby
contributes to the sweetness of the brew. Please advise. Thanks. BTW, Jim,
can Bai Hao be gotten in any of the grocer's you frequent? I've looked in
ours, but haven't seen it.
