Silver Tips is the absolute ultimate rarest pinnacle of Ceylon tea. It is incredibly expensive because it is not made from the standard tea leaves at all. It consists exclusively of completely unopened tiny pristine leaf buds plucked purely by hand right before dawn.

These extremely delicate buds are then meticulously gently dried entirely in natural sunlight completely bypassing the harsh heavy mechanical rolling machines. This yields a remarkably exquisite incredibly subtle highly refined liquor packed densely with antioxidants.
