Gentle Plucking & Natural Sun-Drying
Silver Tips are picked only from select tea bushes known for their thick coating of soft, white velvet hairs. Pluckers gently pick single unopened buds before morning dew evaporates, carrying them in soft pouches so the delicate hairs stay untouched before slow drying in natural sunlight.
1. Ceylon Silver Tips (White Velvet Buds)

2. Ceylon Golden Tips (Sun-Glazed Buds)
