Some teas you can explain. This one, you have to experience. Astraea Silver Tips is born from a rare natural transformation. During the manufacturing process, the tender tips of the finest buds turn naturally silver-white in colour — a mark of exceptional tenderness and quality. These silver-turned tips are then handpicked and sorted by hand from the whole lot, a painstaking process that ensures only the best make it into this tin. Our tasters pick and choose from hundreds of cups, meticulously blending batches to achieve the precise balance of sweetness, aroma, and finish that defines Silver Tips. The result is something that earns its place in the most discerning tea collections — a cup that tastes of pure sweetness and tenderness, with an earthy, aromatic quality that is quiet, refined, and unforgettable. The liquor brews a light whitish hue — almost translucent — and the taste is sweet with the natural delicacy of young leaves. It is hard to explain. One must try to experience it for themselves. Comes in Astraea's signature black square tin with a cool silver accent — understated, precise, and exactly right for what's inside.
