Our Rare Ceylon Silver Tips is a premium white tea made exclusively from the youngest unopened buds of the tea plant, handpicked to preserve their purity and delicate character.
Sourced from Sri Lanka, this exceptional tea produces a light golden infusion with subtle notes of honey and pine, offering a smooth, naturally sweet and refined cup with very low bitterness and caffeine.
Silver Tips is one of the most exclusive types of white tea, made only from the tender buds of the tea plant before they fully open. These buds are covered in fine silvery hairs, which give the tea its name.
Unlike green or black tea, white tea undergoes minimal processing, allowing it to retain its natural flavour, delicate aroma and high antioxidant content.
Because it is harvested for only a short period each year and requires careful hand-picking, Silver Tips is considered one of the rarest and most luxurious teas in the world.
Silver Tips is known for its subtle complexity and refined character, offering a very different experience from stronger black or green teas.

100% Ceylon white tea (Silver Tips)
This Silver Tips tea is sourced from Sri Lanka’s Central Province, near Hatton, where high-altitude conditions produce some of the country’s finest and most delicate teas.
Harvesting takes place in the early morning to protect the delicate buds, which are then carefully dried with minimal processing. This preserves their natural structure, flavour and nutrients, resulting in a tea that is both pure and highly expressive.
