Looks like a white tea to me, and a fairly decent grade at that. White
tea is brewed similarly to green: Water just below boiling (bring water
to boil and wait about 30 seconds off of heat) and steeping time
varies. Some whites need just a very brief steep of 30 seconds to a
minute, while others need more time upwards of 3 minutes.

I will have to work on translating the packaging, I'm no expert
there... but I do know there are many on this newsgroup who are so they
may beat me to it.
