" In the Patung district there are two tea-plants : one, ' white 

 tea,' used for making tea drunk by natives, and the other ' red 

 tea,' used for making black tea exported to foreign countries. 

 This specimen [of Pyrus spectabilis'] is the ' red tea,' and the 

 shrub is larger than the ' white tea ;' the flower is redder (that 

 of • white tea' being nearly white, or perhaps a pale pink) and 

 hangs down more." — A. Henry.
