Ceylon Vintage Silver Tips is a rare white tea with a flavor that's light, sweet, and sublime. A Harney & Sons exclusive, this tea is plucked and made just for us from the terminal buds of tea bushes grown high in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). They are handled with great care, so the bud remains whole and becomes silvery. Since there are no leaves, the flavor is different from traditional tea.
