WHITE TEA ( CEYLON GOLDEN TIPS )

Ceylon Golden Tips tea is a rare and luxurious variety of Ceylon white tea, celebrated for its exceptional quality and unique appearance. It is made from the young, tender buds of the tea plant, which are carefully handpicked and processed with minimal handling to preserve their natural properties. The buds are dried under sunlight, giving them a distinctive golden hue, which is where the tea gets its name.

  • Flavor: Ceylon Golden Tips tea has a delicate, smooth taste with subtle notes of honey, pine and a hint of floral sweetness.
  • Appearance: The golden-colored buds create a light, pale amber liquor when brewed.
  • Rarity: Due to its labor-intensive production and limited availability, it is considered one of the most exclusive teas from Sri Lanka.
  • Health Benefits: Like other white teas, it is rich in antioxidants and is believed to promote relaxation, boost immunity and support overall well-being.
  • Measure the Tea: Use about 1 teaspoon (2-3 grams) of Ceylon Golden Tips tea per cup (240 ml) of water. Its premium buds deliver great flavor even with a small amount.
  • Heat the Water: Boil fresh water and allow it to cool slightly to around 75–85°C (167–185°F). Avoid boiling water to prevent overpowering the delicate flavor of the golden buds.
  • Steep the Leaves: Place the golden tea buds in a teapot, infuser or directly into the cup. Pour the warm water over them and let the tea steep for 4-5 minutes. For a milder infusion, reduce the steeping time to 3 minutes.
  • Strain and Serve: Remove the tea buds or strain the tea into your cup. The brewed tea will have a light amber color, with a gentle honey-like aroma and flavor.
  • Enjoy It Plain: To truly appreciate the refined and natural flavor of Ceylon Golden Tips tea, avoid adding milk, sugar or other flavorings. Its subtle notes are best enjoyed as they are.
