By Lainie Petersen

White tea can be a controversial subject. Some people love it, some find it uninteresting. Traditional white tea, also known as silver needle, is made entirely from the fuzzy buds of the tea plant.

White Tea and Black Roses

Two of the misnomers in the world of flora are white tea and black roses. White tea, strictly speaking, is not white. Natural black roses (not dyed ones) are not really black.

Someone said he didn’t like this tea but, ever true to my goal of objective assessments, I set that opinion aside as hubby and I embarked on another tea tasting adventure (with the help of the Little Yellow Teapot).
