White Silver Tips Pu'er

Since December 2008, to be called pu'er, a tea must be made according to a defined process and from large leaf varietals grown in the designated Yunnan areas of China.   Therefore, it is debatable about White Silver Tips Pu'er name.   Whether this tea will age well like black pu'er teas or not is to be determined.
