This is how good tea is made
The mass produced shit most of us buy, like Lipton
Is made from the remains of those leaves(broken ones, branches and anything thats considered waste)

Oxidation, not fermentation. There's a big difference between the two.
Something like a shou pu'er, is an example of a fermented tea. Or yellow tea is very shortly fermented.
Oxidation is a chemical process due to the oxidase enzyme that's inside tea leaves,
fermentation is due to micro-organisms.
White tea can also be aged, hence fermented.

White tea in general, is more oxidized then green tea.
Because white tea is just withered & dried.
It's literally just dried tea. Like how you'd have dried peppermint for example..
Yinzhen are the unopened buds, mu dan is bud & leaves, gong mei is even less bud.
Because white tea isn't heated like the others, it remains having those oxidase enzymes, keeping oxidation going on at a slow pace.

If you steep an oolong for 10 minutes, I don't know if you can resteep it 5 times.
But if you drink gong fu style, you certainly can for more then 5 times.

The one thing I learned from this?

Somehow alcohol isn’t the #1 consumed beverage on Earth.
