The little buds that form on the plant are covered with silver hairs that give the young leaves a white appearance. They are carefully picked by hand sun dried (some white teas are gently steamed in a pan to evaporate the water content) and then packed in air-tight containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen brewed white teas give hardly any color and infuse a very delicate flavor into the water.In testing by a cancer institute in Massachusetts (Women and Cancer Fund) this particular tea has been found to be very high in polyphenols - the antioxidants found in tea. Antioxidants have been shown to act as inhibitors in the growth of cancer cells.Near Adam's Peak the cloud kissed and mist blown slopes are blessed with some of the finest teas on Earth. This white tea is especially rare as only 30 kilos are made on a weekly basis. The reason for limited production is that only the best fresh shoots are selected and then withered and sun dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tips are silvery and have fresh fuzz similar to that on a peach. The heady aroma is unlike that of any other tea and is somewhat piney. The subtle taste may only be appreciated with an experienced palate and we encourage tea lovers to initiate themselves to a rare gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdam's Peak is one the most sacred mountains in the world. Buddhists believe the footprint on the summit is that of Buddha Hindus hold it to be the mark of Shiva Muslims are convinced it is that of Adam who wept after the loss of Eden (whereby the mountain got its name) and some Christians believe the indentations were caused when St.Thomas Christ's Apostle who came East prayed at the peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sri Lanka\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuwara Eliya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver Tip White Tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7800 - 8200 feet above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand rolled Orthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury white tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate very light liquoring with notes of pine \u0026amp; honey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden coppery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Hot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile preparing by the cup, White teas can be used repeatedly up to 3 times.
