And if this is the case, has anyone tried to make them? It would certainly be an interesting experience.<BR/><BR/>After reading about how the bubbles of the tea preparation were almost white in colour, I recalled reading about something similar, and after a quick browse through my books, found the following, which is an extract from emperor Hui Tsung's treatise on tea, as quoted in J. Blofeld's The Chinese Art of Tea: "tea that turns white on infusion is best. Bluish grey is next best; greyish white comes third, and yellowish white fourth". The text then goes on to describe how the colour of the tea reflects picking conditions and the care observed during the different processing stages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-1153095305502334502006-07-17T08:15:00.000+08:002006-07-17T08:15:00.000+08:00ohhh those sweets look delicious..
