Instead, this tea is made of handpicked, whole leaf teas enclosed in light, transparent silk that are carefully handsewn to preserve the flavors. After which they are placed in keepsake gift boxes which are embossed with the name of the tea in gold lettering. Certainly elegant enough to be displayed in your home.
