Ceylon Silver Tips – A White Tea Like No Other
Ceylon Silver Tips stands in a league of its own. Sourced exclusively from the high-elevation tea gardens of Sri Lanka — between 2,200 and 2,500 metres above sea level — this is one of the rarest and most sought-after white teas produced anywhere in the world.
Handcrafted with Extraordinary Care
Only the youngest, most tender unopened buds are selected for Silver Tips. Each bud is hand-plucked at dawn, when the morning mist still clings to the highland gardens and the dew preserves the leaf’s natural freshness. The buds are then gently rolled by hand and carefully sun-withered in shaded conditions — a slow, artisanal process that prevents oxidation and locks in the tea’s pristine character.
The result is a needle-like bud, whole and elegant, coated in its natural silvery-white down — a hallmark of exceptional quality.
In the Cup
Ceylon Silver Tips brews a pale golden liquor with a clean, luminous clarity. The flavour is remarkably delicate — softly sweet, with floral notes and a smooth, lingering finish. There is no bitterness, no astringency, only a quiet complexity that rewards slow, mindful sipping.
Health & Wellness
As a minimally processed white tea, Ceylon Silver Tips retains an exceptionally high concentration of natural antioxidants, polyphenols, and catechins. It is naturally low in caffeine, making it a wonderful choice for any time of day, including evenings.
