WHITE TEA

   No OED entry.
   From the WALL STREET JOURNAL, 1 April 2003, pg. D8, col. 1:

_Wave of White Tea Is Coming_
   THIS YEAR'S hot ingredient, whether in a beverage or a cosmetic, is _white
tea_.  Already the basis for a skin-care line, "A Perfect World," by Estee
Lauder's Origins brand, white tea is expected to show up soon in vitamins,
hair-care products and fragrances.

   24 September 1994, GROCER (Dow Jones database), pg. 37:
   _Instant withdrawal  Withdraws Scottish Blend and PG Tips brands of
instant white tea, but may reintroduce them later._

   20 April 1998, INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT ALERT (Dow Jones):
   Tea Total is the name of what is touted as the first Instant White Tea to
be marketed in the United Kingdom.  Launched by Asda, the tea is described as
a combination of Indonesian tea and low-fat whitener in a tea bag.  It has
been developed so that the whitener dissolves immediately and the tea
diffuses slowly.  In this way, consumers can achieve a milky cup in about 30
seconds, or can get a strong cup of tea by leaving the bag to steep for
longer.

   20 March 2000, U. S. NEWSWIRE (Dow Jones):
   They (Oregon State University researchers--ed.) presented their
research--the first on white tea--at the 219th national meeting of the
American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society.  Among the
rarest and most expensive varieties of tea, white tea is produced almost
exclusively in China.
