  „   White tea has the ability to further what green tea began several years ago: serve as an example for the current state of tea in the world, but particularly in the tea bag-laden tea areas. Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, has a tattered past, as it has been packaged and sold in many places as a flavored or scented mixture infused from a bag into your cup. The irony that white tea, the truest and most unaltered form of tea available, is regarded with almost supernatural praise is lost on the majority of tea drinkers. So it can be said that white tea is, in essence, bringing tea drinkers in the tea bag world back to the drawing board.“

  „And here’s why. How many servings will one pound of tea make? The industry standard for one pound of tea is around 200 cups of tea. It is important to realize that this yield of cups per pound is much higher than that of coffee, even though they are often sold for around the same price.“

  „A pound of tea, on average, has twice the caffeine of a pound of coffee. But a pound of tea yields about 160 cups, while a pound of coffee makes only about 40 cups. The net result is that a cup of tea contains roughly one-quarter the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Caffeine content is nearly identical in all shades of roasts of coffee.“
