Chinese white tea is usually considered a subclass of green tea. It's slightly fermented with a body covered with fluffy white hair.

It's typically harvested in the cold of earliest spring when tea bushes have shed their protective scales on the tips of their branches.

White Green tea is picked before the buds open while teh buds still have the white fuzz on them.
