Different types of white tea?
Ok, so pai mu tan & yinzhen, and the lower eyebrow stuff.
Also ive had white Monkey or something but it was more like a green.
Are there any different types of yinzhen? I’ve had some with more hair than others which is my current and best, and some yellower leaves with less hair which was different, but they’re doesn’t seem to be the diversity of other tea types.
there are white Ceylon teas (rare) and white Darjeeling and Nepal teas, so there are more options for you to try.
I have some white tea from Nepal which I like.
You can always try Yin Zhen from Yunnan (Dian Yin Zhen) it is very different from the ‘normal’ Fujian silver needle. There is always Kenyan Silver Needle as well which is very different again.
Trying all the different terroirs’ Silver Needles is great fun!
There are white teas from the Nilgiri region in India as well. I remember trying some a few years ago. The one i had i remember had a minty flavour.
