SILVER TIPS STORY Silver Tips Tea is the retail arm of Eco-Prima Tea, a wholesale tea import and trading company, in business since 1995. Silver Tips opened in 1999 as a small, independent Tea Room serving about 100 varieties of tea, homemade soups and salads ; both familiar and creative toasted tea sandwiches ; and our wildly popular, Afternoon Tea complete with sandwiches, cakes, scones, preserves and cream. Today the Tea Room has grown to become a popular meeting place for our customers and a source for the finest teas, not only in-store, but on-line and by mail-order as well. My own roots to tea go back to my childhood in Darjeeling, India one of the tea capitals of the world and home of the Champagne of Teas. My sister and I attended boarding school at the foothills of the Himalayas, surrounded by lush tea plantations. After graduating college, I went to New York to work for the United Nations and then later became an executive for a large communications company. My sister, meanwhile, had married Rajah Banerjee, whose family owned the beautiful and vast Makaibari tea plantation. Thus began my own journey back to the path of Tea! Tea was now firmly rooted in my family's past, present and future. Over the years, I visited Makaibari numerous times and each time learned a little more about the flavorful beverage I had taken for granted during my childhood. I discovered how tea bushes were pruned to a certain height for optimal picking ; how the women plucked the top two leaves and a bud ; how the leaves were weighed, how the fresh green leaves miraculously became black tea ; and how the teas were sorted and graded. I learned that no detail is too small to escape attention, even down to the meticulous hand-crafting of tea chests on the estate.
