Traditional Production

How This Tea is Crafted

Ceylon White Tea is made with zero crushing, rolling, or mechanical fermentation. The unopened silver buds, covered in soft white downy hairs, are picked into silk-lined bags and slowly dried in natural sunlight. The brewed tea is smooth, crystal-clear, and delicate with notes of wildflower honey, melon, and spring blossoms.

Processing Steps:

11. Dawn Plucking: Picked carefully between 5:00 AM and 7:30 AM before morning dew evaporates.
22. Natural Sun Withering: Spread on soft linen trays for gentle sun drying.
33. Ambient Curing: Slow curing at natural air temperatures without breaking the buds.
44. Hand Sorting: Inspected by hand to ensure only unbroken whole buds are packed.
