The lush, rolling hills of Sri Lanka’s central highlands are home to one of the world’s most revered and sought-after teas – Ceylon Silver Tips. This rare, delicate varietal is prized for its refined, nuanced flavour profile and incredibly delicate appearance.
The secret to Ceylon Silver Tips lies in the careful harvesting and processing techniques employed by Sri Lankan tea masters. Only the finest, youngest tea buds are hand-plucked, just as they begin to unfurl and reveal their silvery, downy leaves. These pristine tips are then meticulously withered, oxidized, and dried, preserving their inherent sweetness and subtle complexity. The result is a tea of unparalleled elegance, with flavour notes ranging from fresh hay and honeysuckle to hints of stone fruit and toasted nuts.
