In order to fully appreciate tea, all one has to do is take a sip. And yet, if one wants to really dive into exploring different teas, discovering new terroirs will also become part of discovering new companies. Shihan reached out to me about becoming part of TeaTiff, and after reviewing their website, I was immediately drooling. If you haven’t yet tried the Sri Lanka terroir, do so by starting here. They have a great sampler pack!

- For us, Tea is life.

TeaTiff Picks: Ceylon Silver Tips. Often overlooked and underappreciated by the majority of tea drinkers (most of whom choose black tea), white teas from Ceylon are unique and have a mouthwatering quality that will make you love them as much as Ceylon cinnamon.
