Best customer service I have seen

I had some customs issues with my order and have never seen a more dedicated and hard working customer service team to make sure their order is delivered. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any amount of tea from this supplier, they are the greatest! Best regards from Sweden

In Praise of Silver Tip

Now I drink many infusions from a pot of silver tip during the course of a day, it has become my preferred tea by far.

Lovely, gentle tea

I bought this tea as a one-off purchase to see if it lives up to its description. That was a while ago and I’ve been buying it regularly ever since. The tea has such delicate but refreshing flavour. It’s my go-to when in a need of a hot drink.

Tasting Notes

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

Quantity

Use 2g of tea per 150ml of water.

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 70°C (158°F) water.

Time

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusions

You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

Cost Per Cup

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

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.
