Then those cautiously harvested tea buds are well protected whilst the meticulous manual handmade process takes place over a period of one to two months depending on the climatic condition. Direct exposure to sunlight is required to make a few kilograms of excellent Golden tips & Silver tips tea which are very delicate & subtle in flavor.There is a known secret with the hierarchy that the ancient rulers used to gift this tea to the Kings as they believed it has certain aphrodisiac effects.
