Silver Tips white tea is originally from Fuding and is prized because it is made from only delicate spring buds, hand-picked just before the leaves unfurl. This rare batch from Chiang Rai presents a soft straw and brown sugar aroma. It also delivers a complex tasting profile, wavering from pine to honey and back. This particular tea received Gold Prize for White Tea at the 2023 World Tea Contest in Japan.
