Love my afternoon tea buzz

The most relaxing time of the day with my wife is our afternoon tea. We take our time as while the tea cools it improves in both flavor, mouth feel, and of course the buzz. This is my only deliberate flirt with caffeine and everything else that is packed into this tea. We believe this time together, music, tea, and laughing improves all the rest of our life.

How wonderful! You describe the full experience of tea in detail and with love. It is no wonder they call Oolong 'liquid sunshine'.

Tea Education

No wonder they call Oolong the Philosopher's Drink. It is mellow, fragrant, long-lasting and mystical. One of the many Oolongs that get better as they cool. Make full use of this tea - one teaspoon goes a long way. It will withstand multiple infusions so save the infused leaves and add 20 seconds to each subsequent steep. There is a lingering sweetness when it cools. An excellent accompaniment to food, great with dessert and an all-day treat. Also known as Iron Goddess of Mercy.

Great for sending gifts or to sample teas

Combinations of favorite black, green, or herbal teas, lead to gifts or a quick steep. I am enjoying full-flavored Irish breakfast tea and chai's unique flavor is heavenly. These are excellent gifts if I don't drink them first!

Hands down, my favorite Tea!

How does one set out to describe a favorite tea? Especially when you like other teas. But Dian Black, hands down, is my favorite tea! I find that is the best way to start the day. No harsh flavor notes. My tasting buds and Dian Black are on the best of terms. Silver Tips has brought a wonderful tea into our palette of excellent teas.

Wonderful Turmeric Chai

I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the Turmeric Chai tea that I bought from Silver Tips. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I had never tasted Turmeric before, but as I really wanted a masala-type tea, I decided to try it. It's wonderful! You use a high quality base tea and the spice blend is perfectly balanced, with the different spices taking turns impacting the palate. Really, it's almost like drinking a fine wine. You certainly crafted an excellent tea. I will be buying it again.

Excellent English Breakfast!

I got this as a sample when I ordered my two long time favorites from Silvertips (Keemun Hao Ya (absolute #1) and Dion Black). It's been a long time since I was so impressed by a tea as I was with this sample. I immediately ordered a large bag. It's a wonderful version of English Breakfast that stands up well to milk and sugar (my preferred way to have it) and no bad aftertaste. Solid choice!
