Every now and then one comes across a tea that is quite unique. This is one of these teas. After the first 3 weeks of the new season the tea used to produce the silver balls grows (but this special tea only grows until May 10th). Over the years special bushes which have a higher than usual incidence of mottled and ﾑwhiteﾒ leaves have been cloned and planted in one location of the tea estate. The leaves of these bushes grow longer more quickly and are covered with hairy white down giving them a silver appearance. The top two leaves and the bud are plucked. The long leaves are hand rolled lengthwise- one by one! A group of them are tied together, the leaves in the middle of the cluster are clipped short (being careful to leave the outer leaves full length) and then the long outer leaves and molded over the short clipped middle leaves into the shape of a ball. The silver balls are then wrapped in a individual mesh covering and steamed to halt any possible fermentation. The mesh is then removed and the silver balls are re-wrapped in special paper so when they dry the beautiful round shape is maintained. When the tea is infused the silver ball ﾑbloomsﾒ, so to speak, and final shape is that of a chrysanthemum flower.

Hot Tea: This tea is best enjoyed by using 180F/80C water. Take about 1 silver ball and let it steep for about 3 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the cup. Once the water level is low add more water, until the flavor of the tea is exhausted. It can be infused repeatedly 3 times using higher temperatures and shorter infusions each time.
