   They are probably referencing the cultivar, I am guessing “da bai hao” cultivar which is usually used for white teas and they oxidized it like a black tea. Just how cultivar “long jing #43” is almost always used for green tea and “Shui Xian” usually is used for oolongs etc etc.

   Hey guys,

   I believe that this is a red tea fermented from traditional white tea varietals (da bai, da hao).
