I just bought seven ounces of this for $3.29 at Ranch 99 Market in
Shoreline, WA. FooJoy brand.
It's pretty much like the loose-leaf "White Tea with Cantaloupe" from
Zhena's Gypsy Tea that I bought at a T.J. Maxx, but that was 2.5 ounces
for about four or five bucks. And without the cantaloupe flavoring.

It doesn't really look very white, though. It looks like an assortment
of green-to-greenish-brown leaf and twig pieces.

Has anybody tried the "peony white" from CoffeeBeanDirect.com yet?
I've got my eye on it, seriously considering ordering a bag.
