Mlesna Silver Tip, Leaf Tea Carton is a Ceylon white tea made from the unopened silver buds of the tea bush, plucked by hand and dried rather than rolled. It comes as loose leaf tea in a printed carton, in 50g and 100g packs; pick your size above.
Use water at about 80 C, a heaped teaspoon per cup, and brew for four to five minutes; the same buds take a second infusion.
Mlesna is a Sri Lankan tea house founded in 1983 by tea taster Anselm Perera; this is the Sri Lankan pack, shipped worldwide from Sri Lanka. See the whole Mlesna range.
