Description

JUST ARRIVED. This is the freshest crop straight from the farm.

You’ve heard of the famous Ceylon Black Tea, no doubt. We’re excited to offer you one of the first white teas grown on an independent family farm in one of the most famous tea growing regions in the world.

This is a very beautiful and elegant tea; a single bud and a single tender leaf. We’re tempted to call it a White Oolong because it defies experience. It’s processed like a white tea but somehow has enough of a darker profile to give you the satisfaction of a super-high quality dark tea. It takes 6-7 Kilos of hand-picked buds to make a single kilo of this tea!

This tea is a first of its kind and an exclusive to BTTC.

Please try it out and let us know what you think.
