Style

The most delicate of all tea and loose leaf teas, unprocessed and crafted entirely from tender spring buds, high in the remote mountains of Fujian. Picked for only five days of the year, just before the buds unfurl to the first new leaves.

Also known as White Silver Needle and Baihao Yinzhen.

Remarkably delicate, with the sweetness of spring long stored over winter.

33p per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Fuding, Fujian province, China

Delicate buds

Exceptionally pure

The most prized of all white China tea, silver tips are delicate leaf-buds at the point of unfurling. Exceptionally pure and natural, white silver tips undergo the least processing retaining higher levels of antioxidants than other teas.

This is not mass produced tea from large industrial gardens but lovingly crafted and you can taste the difference.

DRIED

The taste of spring

The finest silver tips can only be plucked for a few weeks in late March/early April and only on days when there is no rain or cloud so that they can be carefully dried in the high mountain sunshine. Hand processing allows the tips to retain their exquisitely delicate flavour.

When infused white silver tip tea brews to a pale golden cup.
