The fuzz turns a white color after the leaves were dried, and that's where the name "white tea" is derived.
There are several varieties of white tea, and it is based on how much leaf buds are mixed with leaves tea. Some have more buds of leaves and some leaves over buds. The variety called White Peony contains one bud for two leaves. White Tea, Silver Needles, is made entirely from buds can be harvested during two days in early spring. If the buds are collected at any other time, the tea is not considered the variety Silver Needles.
