Ceylon Gold (White tea)

[GREEN-PLAIN]Pure Ceylon White ‘Golden Tips’ tea Loose leaf · From Nuwara Eliya region This tea is a special type of ‘Gold Tips’ White Tea, commonly called ‘Golden Monkey’, and has undergone a very special, careful process to give it its fine, splendid flavour. Ceylon Gold harvested from a young tea bush before the buds have opened. From there, the buds are dried in natural sunlight, allowing the tips to maintain their velvety golden colour. Since the young buds are so delicate, they are handled with the utmost care. This tea is from an estate in Hatton in Nuwara Eliya. It is western high grown and displays a brownish-gold colour in the cup. This fine tea boasts a light, fine, tart flavour that we can only attribute to the time and care dedicated to harvesting and processing this tea.
