Ahmad Tea Aurora Silver Tips is a handmade tea made only from the long, tender buds of selected tea bushes. The fresh buds carry a down of fine hairs, and this is what gives the finished tea its silver colour. After picking, the buds are carefully dried in the sun to produce Silver Tips, a style of tea known around the world.
Because only buds are used and every step is done by hand, Silver Tips is a costly tea and much sought after by tea connoisseurs, who prize it for the look of the leaf and its delicate, light liquor. This 100g pack comes in Ahmad Tea's Aurora exclusive caddy, which suits a special occasion or a gift for someone who enjoys fine tea.
