Golden Tips Tea
Made from the first flush tips only, our Golden Tips Tea is prized for its refined character and quietly potent lift. With naturally occurring L theanine working in balance with caffeine, it delivers a smoother, steadier focus that feels clean, sustained, and composed for hours.
How to brew
Use 1 to 1.5 teaspoons per cup.
Use hot water below boiling, around 75 to 85°C.
Steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
Drink without milk to preserve the lighter golden notes.
Lower temperature brewing is commonly recommended for delicate golden or white tip teas, while Nepali golden tips can also be brewed slightly hotter depending on desired strength.
