Silverback White, Kenyan White Tea

Even for long-time tea tasters, a pot of Silverback White Tea is a revelation.   The cup opens widely with breathtaking notes of honey, roasted nuts and Madagascar vanilla leading to a long smooth finish – a tea your guests will never forget. Silverback White is one of the rarest teas in the world – only 600 kgs of it are made on an annual basis.  The tea is made from only the choicest white tips, flushed by highly specialized tea bushes in the valley’s cool early mornings.  The fresh leaf is hand plucked, and dried naturally.  The process is exceedingly laborious and even the most skilled tea artisan can produce only about 1 kg per day. Silverback White tea is named after the magnificent Silverback Gorillas that can be found in the region. The gorillas are characterized by a white patch of fur on their backs, the color of which is very similar to the white tips used to create the tea. Ingredients: Artisan white tea Origin: Kenya
