Ceylon Silver Tips Tea

Rare Handcrafted Sri Lankan White Tea

Discover the extraordinary elegance of Ceylon Silver Tips Tea from Johns Ceylon Tea, one of Sri Lanka’s most exclusive and luxurious white teas. Handcrafted entirely from the finest unopened buds of the Camellia sinensis plant, this premium tea is treasured for its delicate flavour, natural sweetness, and exceptional artisanal craftsmanship.

Known internationally as Silver Needles tea, each tender bud is carefully selected during the early morning harvest using the traditional Imperial Plucking method. Handpicked before sunrise to preserve freshness and purity, the buds are then gently hand-rolled and naturally sun-dried to maintain their delicate character and antioxidant-rich properties.

The result is a refined white tea with remarkable smoothness, floral complexity, and a naturally sweet finish that offers a truly luxurious tea-drinking experience.

What Makes Ceylon Silver Tips Tea Exceptional

Ceylon Silver Tips is one of the rarest specialty teas produced in Sri Lanka. Crafted exclusively from unopened tea buds covered in delicate silvery hairs, this minimally processed white tea preserves its natural purity, subtle flavour profile, and antioxidant content.

Produced in limited quantities by skilled artisans, every cup reflects generations of Sri Lankan tea-making expertise and dedication to premium quality.
