Drink for the Soul - Silver Needles

Only the buds with the smallest buds are picked before very little processing. They are then allowed to wilt in the sun. The result is a wonderfully fresh loose-leaf infusion with the sweet scent of jasmine and melon. A memorable and unique white tea from the Nuwara Eliya region in Ceylon is grown at an elevation of 6,000 feet. The delicate buds from the plant are harvested at dawn, meticulously placed in a silk pouch, and made entirely by hand. The buds are then dried under the sun and then carefully hand-rolled, giving the signature silver needle-like buds that have a soft texture. The Tea's light brew is light and delicate, yet elusive and smooth on the palate, with some hint of a "greenish" seasonal high grown flavor in the final. The stunning appearance of the infused buds enhances the enjoyment of this distinctive brew. White Tea is a delicate, tender bud made comprised of two leaves. It is the buds that provide the highest quality tea. It is approximately 3cm in length and is white in appearance. It is known as Silver Tips in Sri Lanka.

  Immensely floral, reminiscent of geranium, white lily with soft notes of fresh melons and lavender

  Champagne

   

  TASTE

  The liquor is very smooth, light-bodied and tipped with fresh floral attributes. Delicate notes of aromatic flowers similar to geranium and white lilies can be perceived right from the start which gradually grows into prominence and gives the liquor a rich, floral character. Easing towards the end, subtle undertones of ripe tropical fruits are discernible which complements the supremely floral aromatics of the cup. Muted hints of lavender come through in the aftertaste, rendering a refreshing feel on the palate. The second steep is just as flavorful and recommended with ice for a truly sublime experience.
