Grown in the Fujian province of China, tea buds are plucked within two hours of sprouting and then withered naturally in the sun. This is the genuine article of white tea, not the green-tea variant that sometimes appears in the cup. Silver Tips White Tea is among our most exclusive offerings, delivering a refreshing, light, and aromatic cup. We use quality whole leaf only, avoiding the dust found in regular tea bags; whole leaf provides a fuller, more nuanced infusion. The tea is housed in a biodegradable "tea temple"—a spacious, transparent mesh bag that permits full leaf expansion and maximum infusion. Each package contains 15 temples, designed for multiple cups from a single premium harvest. Great Taste 2018 recognition underscores its refined character. This tea is ideal for quiet mornings or afternoon reflection, pairing well with light fare. Its delicate profile shines with slow brewing in a cup or small pot, appealing to connoisseurs seeking authenticity.
