      It's a baby tea leaf before it's actually grown.

      "White tea is tea made from new growth buds and young leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis. [1] The leaves are steamed or fired to inactivate oxidation, and then dried. White tea therefore retains the high concentrations of catechins which are present in fresh tea leaves. [2][1] As white teas contain buds and leaves, whereas other teas are mainly leaves, the dried tea doesn’t look green and has a pale appearance. [3] Buds and young tea leaves have been found to contain higher levels of caffeine than older leaves, suggesting that the caffeine content of some white teas may be slightly higher than that of green teas.[1]"

      Snapple Raspberry White Tea is AWESOME! White tea is a baby tea leaf plucked when it is young so it's light in flavor and high in antioxiodants. Go to the Snapple website http://www.snapple.com/ click on the white tea bottle, and it will you all the info (including the various flavors of white tea).

      White tea is made from any of the three types of the White tea tree. Among the Narcissus White, Vegetable White and the Big White, the third one is the most premium and preferred. The tealeaves are intricately plucked and based on that, there are 3 types of White tea. In the Silver Needle type, the bud alone is plucked where as in the White Peony, the bud with the leaf beneath it is plucked. Longevity Eyebrow differs slightly from the others in the fact that along with the bud, 2-3 leaves are plucked below it. Silver Needle is the most optimum tea in terms of quality as is also known in Chinese as Bai Hao Yin zhen.
