Anji Baicha, white or green?
Many people are confused over this question of what the word ‘bai’, or white, refers to as Anji tea is most definitely a kind of green tea; its processing involves ‘sha qing’, or killing green. Turned out that the original mother bush was yielding some silvery gold-hued buds and they called the bush ‘White Tea’, and the lesser varietals ‘Tu Cha’ meaning basic tea. This is not to be confused with other white teas!
