A tea store here sells this tea, look at ingredients.
They call it White moon.

Green tea, fog tea, gunpowder, roasted rice, Pai mu tan, green tea with
jasmin, white Silver pearls tea, Chun Mee, green Darjeeling, silver needle,
pieces of ginger, pieces of strawberry...

Oh yeah, I haven't tried it, I just wanted to see what do you think about
the ingredients. Could it be good?

Really doubt it's good. I've had (and still have a bit) of a german
tisane made of various fruit pieces that was sold in clear packaging
and looked **really** attractive, and the trouble is, the taste is too
sour. Even if you brew it very lightly. So that strawberry is going to
sour it up, ginger is in itself very strong-flavoured so it's going to
overpower white and green tea, so you'll moustly get sour spicy taste
with a hint of vegetal astringency. Unless they put in really tiny
amount of ginger and strawberry. Really a waste of silver needle and
pai mu tan, if they're good grade. Tell them to send silver needles
and pai mu tan over here, it will taste the same anyway :P.

They packaged all their other teas and tisanes, and that is what they
had left over. The onions and butter were in the kitchen
refrigerator. Toci

Shen, a question in answer to yours: What would a vendor do with the dregs of tea and other ingredients at the bottom of their respective bins that they might otherwise have tossed out? Hmmmm? Hmmmmm!

I guess my naivete speaks too loudly. It's also an unfathomable case
of "getting what the market will bear" or just another "take the
customer" tea.
Americans, and Germans, I understand, drink Gummi Bear flavoured tea -
so, what the hell......?!

Remember, there are some people out there who do respond *yech, what
the hell do they drink tea for?*
And the gist of the tea drinker's response to such is "you don't
understand".

Taste is something very personal.

So you all are against me buying some of this tea. It's $5 per 50 grams.

One other question though. Is it worth giving $14.49 for 50 grams of Silver
Needle?

Depends on how rich you are. Ask them to make you a cup.. It's
interesting but I wouldn't spend $5. I'd spend 50c for a cup to try
it.

Silver needle is my absolute #1 favorite tea, so if it's a good silver
needle, and you trust the vendor, then it's worth that much, easy.
Last silver needle I bought was $40 for 1/4lb, about 113gram, and I
would not feel it's overpriced if it cost three or four times as
much.

I'll double that, if only I don't have to drink it.

No, no. No one's against your buying the tea. It's just a really,
really curious choice.
And I guess I join the group in pondering the motive of the vendor.
To each his own.

PS- and, at least, it didn't come in a tea bag!

I think the roasted rice, strawberry and ginger would mask all of the
subtle flavors of the greens and white teas. It's a very odd flavor
combination, but maybe someone thought that they found the perfect
blend of flavors. I would not buy 50 grams. Try buying 5 grams to
test it out.

Good idea...

It is like when I used to make vegetable soup for my kids and I. The
youngest kid would always say "Too many different things!!!". Like someone
said "Taste is a personal thing." But if you put too many different things
in it, it becomes refrigerator soup. Can't tell which taste is what
