The Masterpiece Selections

1. Silver Needles: The Crown Jewel of White Tea

The most refined and rare of all teas, our Silver Needles consists entirely of tender, unopened tea buds. Handpicked and sun-dried in their natural state, this tea is a masterclass in subtlety.

• The Experience: A silky-smooth, velvety texture with a light, floral aroma and a shimmering pale-gold infusion.

• The Benefit: Naturally high in theanine for a "calm yet alert" state of mind, and exceptionally low in caffeine.

• Connoisseur Tip: Steep in a glass teapot to watch the silver-tipped buds gracefully unfurl.

2. First Flush: The Essence of Spring

Our Flowery Orange Pekoe is harvested during the very first pluck of the season. These young leaves capture the "new growth" of the estate, yielding a brisk, bright cup that is famously fragrant.

• The Experience: Fresh, floral, and full-bodied with a sophisticated character that marks the beginning of the tea calendar.

• The Benefit: A farm-to-cup experience that retains the maximum freshness and aromatic complexity of the Peermade hills.

• Best Enjoyed: Pure and black, allowing the refined, flowery notes to take centre stage.

Craftsmanship in Every Leaf

• Estate-to-Cup: Both teas are grown, harvested, and processed on our family-owned estate in Kerala, ensuring a direct link between the farmer and your cup.

• Whole-Leaf Integrity: We use only premium whole leaves and buds, no dust, no fannings, preserving the essential oils and complex flavour profiles.

• Sustainable Luxury: Packaged with care in our signature caddies or eco-tubes to maintain the delicate structural integrity of these fine leaves.

• Multiple Infusions: These high-grade teas are the gift that keeps on giving; our Silver Needles can be re-steeped up to 6 times, revealing new layers of flavour with every pour.
