Silver Tips Tea, also known as Silver Needle tea, hails from the beautiful island nation of Sri Lanka. This exquisite tea is primarily cultivated in the Nuwara Eliya region, nestled among the lush hills and elevated at approximately 6,000 feet above sea level.

The tea’s uniqueness is attributed to the specific tea plant variety from which it is derived. To craft Silver Tips Tea, only the tender buds or tips of these tea plants are handpicked with great care at the break of dawn. These delicate buds are then gently carried in silk pouches to preserve their integrity.

What makes Silver Tips Tea truly remarkable is its entirely natural and artisanal processing method. The buds are sun-dried and meticulously hand-rolled, resulting in the distinct appearance of silver, needle-like buds with a velvety texture. This tea is often referred to as Silver Needles tea due to its appearance.

When brewed, Silver Tips Tea produces a pale infusion with an exceptionally light and delicate flavor profile. It’s known for its elusive and mild taste on the palate, often accompanied by a subtle “greenish” note that characterizes high-grown teas.

The infusion process, from the handpicked buds to the final cup, celebrates the artistry and heritage of tea-making in Sri Lanka, making Silver Tips Tea a true treasure for tea enthusiasts and a testament to the country’s rich tea culture.
