Unique silver needle white tea from the mighty Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
This unusual origin creates a particularly interesting flavour profile.
Bored of flat white teas? Looking for something a little unusual?
A lovely light tea, leaves from the lush slopes of mighty Kilimanjaro processed as a white tea. It provides a lovely sweet floral smooth experience.
Beautiful buds, if you look closely you can see the tiny hairs still on them, a sign of excellent quality white tea.
The savanna sweetness envelopes your tastebuds, with a lingering floral finish.
Upon further infusions, a light honey sweetness gives way to the warm florals. Reminiscent of warm sunny mornings, the taste of Africa to start your day!
White tea can be a little delicate, however this tea is quite robust and can even take boiling water, try it for yourself 😉
Please experiment to discover your best version of tea from these amazing leaves.
