Some teamen mistakenly source silver tip green tea as silver tip white tea from Fujian because:

• Both silver tip white tea and silver tip green tea are made from the tea plant variety of "Big White Tea". Also, the appearance of silver tip white tea is much similar as that of silver tip green tea.
• Both silver tip white tea and silver tip green tea are called "Baihao Yinzhen" in Chinese. Silver tip white tea is well-known by overseas tea lovers, but silver tip green tea is rarely known, even in China tea market. Only the tea farmers in north Fujian and senior teamen know silver tip green tea.

What difference between silver tip white tea and silver tip green tea? Indeed, the only different between them is the different processing method.

• Silver tip white tea is a slightly unfermented white tea which only processed by white tea manufacturing methods, that's, withering and dring.
• Silver tip green tea is an unfermented green tea which processed by green tea manufacturing method.

The extraordinary fresh aroma and refreshing taste from silve tip white tea is much different from the mild flavor from silver tip green tea.
