At a glance: An organic white tea from Mozambique, made exclusively from silver tips (whole buds). Brew at 80°C, 1 to 2 minutes, 12 to 15 g/L. The cup is smooth, floral, and gently honeyed.

Mozambique Silver Tips is one of the rarest white teas in our collection. Hand-harvested in the misty mountains of Mozambique, it contains only the youngest buds, still wrapped in their characteristic silvery down. This meticulous selection yields an infusion of exceptional purity.

Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, chose this African tea for its singular character: a high-altitude terroir, a demanding harvest, and a leaf handled with uncommon care. Explore this exceptional tea in our loose-leaf selection, the format that best preserves the delicacy of the buds.

The Aromatic Profile of Mozambique Silver Tips

Visually, the dry leaf is a delight in itself: long, slender buds coated in silvery white down, the hallmark of exceptional silver tips. This fine coating, known as pekoe, gives white tea its uniquely silky texture in the cup.

The infusion produces a pale, almost crystalline liquor with golden highlights. On the nose, delicate floral notes emerge, honeyed and lightly vegetal. The palate is round and silky, with a natural sweetness and absolutely no astringency.

The finish lingers with a persistent floral freshness, a subtle return of acacia honey and white flowers. This is a tea for quiet contemplation, best savored slowly to catch each of its nuances.

This pure, natural profile speaks to a truly singular African terroir: gentle minerality, luminosity, and a floral signature that belongs to Mozambique alone. A silver needle to delight lovers of rare teas in search of a clean, radiant cup.

How to Brew Mozambique Silver Tips

White tea calls for cooler water than green or black tea. Water that is too hot will scorch the buds and mask their floral subtlety. The golden rule: 80°C, never boiling.

Ideal brewing parameters:

Temperature: 80°C (bring to a boil, then leave off the heat for 1 minute)
Quantity: 12 to 15 g of buds per liter of water
Steeping time: 1 to 2 minutes
Water: low in minerals, ideally filtered

Pour the water gently over the buds without stirring. Watch them slowly unfurl in the cup: it is already a moment of pleasure. Taste after 1 minute, then adjust to your preference. Silver tips hold up beautifully to multiple infusions, each one revealing a different facet of the tea.

For gongfu enthusiasts, Mozambique Silver Tips lends itself wonderfully to short, repeated infusions in small volumes. Visit our loose-leaf brewing guide for step-by-step guidance.

Its natural smoothness and low caffeine content make it a welcoming companion at any hour. Ideal in the morning for a peaceful start, in the afternoon for a floral pause, or in the evening when brewed briefly. Let this rare tea become your daily moment of calm.

The Benefits of White Tea

White tea, and silver tips in particular, is naturally rich in polyphenols and catechins, compounds studied for their antioxidant activity. According to EFSA, these compounds contribute to protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Its lower caffeine content compared to black tea makes it a drink suitable throughout the day. ANSES notes that moderate tea consumption fits naturally into a balanced diet. See the recommendations from ANSES for more information.

These properties are not a substitute for medical treatment or a varied diet. White tea remains, above all, a pleasure to be savored: a moment of stillness to weave into your everyday life.

Storage

Store your buds in an airtight container, away from light, strong odors, and moisture. White tea is delicate: a cool, dry cupboard, well away from spices, is all it takes to preserve its aromatic finesse for several months.
