An exceptionally rare white tea crafted entirely from the finest unopened tea buds, handpicked before sunrise and naturally sun-dried.
Experience the elegance of one of the world's most exclusive teas with our Ceylon Silver Tips Tea. Crafted entirely by hand from the finest unopened tea buds of the Camellia sinensis plant, this rare white tea is celebrated for its delicate flavour, natural sweetness, and remarkable craftsmanship.
Known as "Silver Needles" due to their slender appearance and silvery-white hairs, only the youngest and most tender buds are selected for this exceptional tea. Harvested during the early hours of the morning through a traditional method known as Imperial Plucking, each bud is carefully handpicked before sunrise to preserve its freshness and quality.
The buds are then gently hand-rolled and naturally sun-dried, allowing them to retain their delicate character and natural antioxidants. This minimal processing creates a tea that is exceptionally pure, smooth, and refined.
When brewed, Ceylon Silver Tips produces a pale golden liquor with shimmering silver hues. The infusion offers a delicate floral aroma with hints of wildflowers and honey, while the taste is smooth, mellow, and naturally sweet with subtle citrus and mandarin notes.
Aroma:
Fresh wildflowers, honey and delicate floral notes
Liquor:
Pale gold with shimmering silver highlights
Taste:

Every Silver Tips bud is carefully selected and handled by hand. From Imperial Plucking before sunrise to gentle hand-rolling and natural sun-drying, each stage is designed to preserve the tea's delicate character and remarkable purity.
Avoid boiling water to preserve the tea's delicate flavours. The buds can be infused multiple times, revealing new layers of flavour with each brew.
Handcrafted in the renowned tea-growing regions of Sri Lanka, Ceylon Silver Tips represents the pinnacle of artisanal tea making. Produced in limited quantities, every cup reflects the skill, patience, and dedication required to create one of the world's finest white teas.
From the careful selection of unopened buds to the traditional Imperial Plucking harvest and natural sun-drying process, this exceptional tea embodies the purity and craftsmanship of Sri Lankan tea heritage.
A rare expression of Sri Lankan tea craftsmanship, Ceylon Silver Tips offers an elegant combination of silvery-white buds, delicate floral aromas, natural sweetness and a beautifully refined finish. Savour this exceptional tea slowly and discover a truly luxurious Ceylon tea experience.
