My afternoon treat.

I love my afternoon cup of white tea. I find it so smooth and mellow, and refreshing. It lasts a long time so it's great value for money too.

Lovely refreshing drink

I've really enjoyed this tea. I bought it to start using a Gaiwan tea set that I had been given as a gift, gradually adding more water to the leaves as they slowly unfurl. I love the ritual and the subtle freshness of the tea.

Silver Tip White

It’s my daily treat. I infuse a pinch of the leaves in a tiny teapot with slightly cooled boiled water, 5 or 6 times - different subtle flavours each time. It’s a wonderful combination of gentle uplift and relaxation.

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

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Delicate buds

Exceptionally pure

Fuding, Fujian

Our white silver tip is sourced from a farm high in the Fujian mountains near the village of Fuding. This is the 'champagne' of white tea regions. Everything from picking to sorting is done by hand to exacting traditional methods. Tea may have the same name and come from the same area, but like wine, not all tea is equal.
