Rare Tea Company White Silver Tip Loose Leaf Tea, 25 g

Yes this is more expensive than other brands but this is what fair trade is, payment direct to farmers who do it properly, and contribution to the Rare Charity supporting educational scholarships on their partner farms. 2 grams makes at least 2 delicious, refreshing, healthy cups of tea, so at £12 per 25g that's about 50p per cup, and less if you subscribe. I think that's a bargain compared to anything you would buy at a cafe. And it really is a lovely cup of tea

I'm a huge fan of Rare Tea Company teas and the silvertip white tea is no exception. The leaves produce a delicious light flavour tea with almost a melon-like taste. (Of course other palates will discover different nites within the tea). I'm a firm believer that the correct water temperature (85°c) and large enough strainer to help the leaves circulate makes the tea more enjoyable to drink. I manage to make three glasses (250ml) out of one serving, progressively lighter than the last, using a temperature increase of 5°c each time.

The price being for 25g, my expectations were set high for the flavour however it was a very light taste - it’s easy to source better quality loose silver tip at over 1/2 the cost per gram.

Personally, feel this tea is way to light on flavour. However, this is likely preference. It is still a good quality tea and the packaging is fantastically simple, pretty and functional.

A little pricey but very impressed. I've become a fan of white tea and its smooth subtle sweet taste. Thank you very much indeed and I shall be purchasing some more.

I wanted the tin as well as tea, just packet sent and no tin!

Delicious, delicate, refined, beautifully packaged, long undamaged tea leaves. I'll be buying again and trying more kinds of tea from this seller. Thank you!!

Flavour and quality are good but the expensive cost from this particular company for this type of tea far out ways the tea itself.
