Makaibari 1st Flush previous year 2024
Couldn't load pickup availability
Season 2025 is here is so enjoy the previous 2024 season First Flush at a discount!
Slightly bolder and more tannic than a typical 1st flush... Is that the age? Or the season? But still, a very tasty cup of tea!
The leaf has matured and is, therefore, darker in color and more substantial in the cup.
I have been ordering tea from silver tips for over 14 years. My favorite is the Makaibari 1st Flush which I order regularly. The tea arrives packaged nicely and is always fresh and fragrant. Each order comes with a little surprise which is a very nice touch.
Over the years, Silver tips teas, has provided exceptional and very personal service. they are always quick to fix an error and more than accommodating in doing so. The teas they offer come from some of the finest estates and are fantastic. The reasonable prices and extraordinary customer service keep me coming back. Thank you, silver tips!
You are welcome, Chaline and thanks for taking the time to send in your kind words. 1st flush is still my favorite!

Perfect flavor combination I order this tea over and I we again!
This tea is amazing, refreshing, clean and crisp. I absolutely love it. Since first tasting it a few months ago I've been having 2 to 3 giant sized tea cups (12 to 14 ozs.) a day. I still have about 1/4 of a 16 oz bag left but I am going to order more today because I do NOT want to run out of it. It is great hot or cold though I personally find it very cooling to drink it iced especially with the three digit temperatures we are having this summer. I'd give it more than five stars if I could.
Great to start the day with. I enjoy with milk.
Excellent tea!! Enjoyable all day!!
I love this tea! It has a great aroma and tastes great with milk and honey.
This tea may well be the exemplar of the type. It utterly entices both with its scent and its taste. One is transported to garden of aromatic flowers with the very first sip. This tea makes me look forward to getting up in the morning just so that I may savor the peerless flavor. The absolute clincher is the incredibly attractive price for this beautiful leaf. Ever so grateful to be able to enjoy this truly one of a kind.
This tea is LONG on flavor! It has just the tiniest hint of smoke; I don't know how to explain it, but I love it. Forcing myself to drink other teas in between just not to be gluttonous. Not the most sophisticated review, but then maybe there will be more left for me 🤣
This is a stellar tea -- smooth, complex flavor. If I could afford it, I would drink it daily. As it is, I save it for times when I can sit and savor it to enjoy its special qualities.
I’ve ordered this tea for the first time for turneric’s known anti inflammatory properties but, bit, the tea is not only good for joints but for the soul. It’s so soothing!
Oh gosh. I ain't got nuttin' to say. I love Silver Tips Tea. The company, the service, the variety of tea, all pretty darn perfect.
I am still enjoying my first purchase of Makaibari 2nd Flush 2025 - but HAD to order more when I saw the 20% off offer.
This tea is still giving me a wonderful flavor and aroma and I knew I would be buying more anyway.
For anyone hesitating to purchase ... this is a lovely tea - that even holds up really well with a little milk and sugar.
I strongly recommend it!!
My go to tea for that zen moment of sitting with a cuppa, warming your hands and taking in the somewhat citrusy aroma., anticipating the full yet mellow taste and feel of this tea. I had a stretch of not being able to find it ( my error) and I’m so happy to have it back in my cupboard and tea pot!
This is my go to morning cup. It is robust and well balanced; great with milk. Beautiful color.
One of my favorite teas, the grand keemun is one I'll keep rebuying.
I liked this tea. It's a nice, warm, playful afternoon tea when you need something extra. A bit sweet. If you don't have much of a sweet tooth, then you might not need to add any extra.
