This sounds very dubious. Who did you order it from online? Which
small cafe near the Verizon Center did you get some from (Teaism?).

Kenya white silver needle and oolong? There are no references to these
on Yahoo. Kenya's industry is black CTC- and export-driven, with to my
knowledge only two estate teas (Marinyn, Malima (sp.?). Is the tea
company out of NC by any chance Constant Cumming? How and when did
Kisii, which is a region in Kenya, build its tea master capabilities
and shift to hand-plucking, which is the only way Silver Needle can be
produced, at a time when it is increasing mechanization everywhere?
Didn't you know that all whole leaf tea is natural and has no
additives?

Tell us more. Be specific. Who did you buy it from?
