Ahmad Tea Silver Tips are made entirely by hand. Only the long, tender buds of selected tea bushes are picked, and these buds are covered in a fine down that gives them their silvery colour. After picking, the buds are gently dried in the sun, with no other processing to change their character.
Silver Tips are among the most highly priced teas and are sought after by tea connoisseurs, both for the look of the long, pale buds and for their delicate, refreshing liquor. This 40g glass jar shows off the leaf inside and keeps it close at hand for brewing a cup or two at a time. It is a thoughtful gift for someone who already knows their teas and would like to try one of the rarer styles.
