White teas seem to vary a lot in quality. Some of them are n’importe quoi harvested from n’importe où. That’s clearly the case for my dr. tea’s Snow Buds, which look nothing like the beautiful fuzzy and delicate tips in the illustration!
Instead, the leaves are of all shapes and sizes, mainly brown and brittle, and there are a fair amount of twigs thrown in as well. This tea looks like the same one used in a variety of “white tea” flavored blends, so I am assuming that it is quite inexpensive. It tastes okay. The liquor is predictably brownish (given the color of the dried leaves), and it tastes like the base of an average white tea blend.
I found this tea at Amazon for a pittance, and though it has not expired quite yet, my factfinding mission about dr. tea’s led to a dead end. Apparently the company is now defunct.

Whatever from wherever!
Oh I see! Thanks.
