Ingredients

White tea (Origin: Kenya)

Tasting Notes

Light and bright, with a subtle, mellow sweetness and notes of honey and vanilla.

How to Brew Kenya Silverback

Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 oz. water. Heat water until briskly steaming (not boiling). Steep for 3 – 4 minutes. May be infused more than once.

We recommend using a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewing methods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a more flavorful cup.

Kenya Silverback Caffeine Content

Kenya Silverback is low in caffeine. Since it is composed of the first leaves and buds of the tea plant harvested in early spring, it's higher in caffeine than some other white teas.
