White tea technology is one of the oldest tea processing techniques on earth when tea was considered a medicine. White tea is prepared according to a special technology of natural withering and drying, while maintaining its rich internal content with substances such as active enzymes, polyphenols, etc. Due to the special cultivars, climate, quality of the tea leaves, and low level of oxidation, this type of tea provides maximum vitamins and microelements. The highest quality white teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally dried under the sun.
Chinese traditional medicine claims that white tea has a cooling nature, dissipating heat and reducing fire. White tea strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, prevents the development of cancer cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered that after 7 years of ageing, white tea acquires healing properties and could be used as a medicine. The taste develops and becomes richer and deeper.

SILVER RINGS HAND-ROLLED WHITE TEA
ORIGIN
Nuwara Eliya is one of Sri Lanka’s most prestigious tea-growing regions, often referred to as the “Champagne of Ceylon tea” for the remarkable delicacy and clarity of its teas. Located in the central highlands at elevations of 1,800–2,000 meters, it is the highest and coolest tea region in the country. The combination of mountain altitude, crisp air, misty mornings, and cool nights slows the growth of tea leaves, concentrating their natural aroma and flavor. The result is teas of exceptional freshness, light body, and refined floral fragrance - qualities that distinguish Nuwara Eliya teas from all others in Sri Lanka. The climate here is temperate year-round, with strong seasonal winds and abundant rainfall that create ideal growing conditions for both traditional black teas and increasingly for white and green specialty teas. The region’s terroir produces teas that are bright and brisk, yet smooth and aromatic, often carrying delicate notes of lilac, citrus, or alpine herbs.Ebony Springs Tea Gardens is one of the distinguished estates within this region, known for handcrafted, small-batch teas that emphasize purity, craftsmanship, and the expression of Nuwara Eliya’s unique terroir. The garden’s elevation, clean environment, and sustainable practices contribute to the exceptional quality of its teas, including rare handmade white teas such as Silver Rings and White Champagne. These teas reflect not only the elegance of the local leaf but also the skill and care of Sri Lanka’s finest tea artisans.
ABOUT
