Sure, but that doesn‘t involve teaching them what white tea is.

Yes it does.

They come to the UK to be proficient in their studies using the English
Language, that is why they came to the UK to learn their chiosen subject
as taught in English.

Think I'm reasonably proficient in English - but white tea isn't in my
vocabulary. Nor have I ever seen it on a menu. If I did see it, I'd
imagine it was a tea variety. Like green tea. The majority of ordinary tea
drinkers take it with milk. Those who don't ask for it without milk.

White coffee is different. Using the same description for tea suggests a
lack of knowledge of colloquial English - rather than the oposite.
