Ceylon Silver Tips White Tea - Rare Tea

Silver Tips White Tea is an exceptional tea, made exclusively from young, unopened buds, hand-picked at dawn, when the leaves are still covered in dew. These buds, covered in a natural silvery down, give this rare tea its name:silver tips, or “silver buds”.

Unlike black or green teas, silver tip white tea undergoes minimal processing. After picking, the buds are simply withered and then slowly dried in the sun, without rolling or fermentation. This traditional, gentle, and natural method preserves the purity of the bud, its delicate aromas, and its fine texture.

The result: a clear infusion with light floral notes, a fresh vegetal touch, and a great smoothness on the palate. Silver Tips white tea embodies the subtlety of white tea in its noblest form: a tea to be savored in peace, like a breath of mountain air infused in water.

To preserve all the delicacy of its buds, we prefer a gentle infusion, at low temperature:

Ideal temperature: 85–90 °C (simmering, but not boiling water)

Infusion time: 3 to 4 minutes

Quantity: 2g for a cup

You can re-infuse the silver tips white tea 2 to 3 times: each passage reveals a different facet, more floral, more vegetal or more mineral.

When and how to enjoy it?

• In the morning, for a gentle start
• After a meal, as an alternative to coffee
• During a quiet or meditative moment
• Cold, infused at room temperature for summer

This tea requires neither sugar nor milk. It is sufficient in itself, like water scented by nature.
