I take this tea places. It has a silky texture and great depth of flavour: wild honey, dried roses, a hint of cedar, and a puehr-like moss and stone undertone. The aftertaste is mildly tannic, a welcome reminder that I’m drinking tea, not hot water! It is fantastic as a wake-me-up or bedtime cuppa, and right now it is accompanying a slice of not-too-sweet apple bread. Very flexible, this is my staple darjeeling.
Darjeeling Silver Tips
White Tea by The Fragrant Leaf
This white tea from the award-winning Makaibari Estate in Darjeeling is a rare treat for tea lovers. Hand-picked from special bushes during the early spring First Flush, Silver Tips are made only from young buds and tender leaves.
Careful processing by the tea maker results in an excellent tea with a delicate floral bouquet and notes of vanilla and honey.
