The tradition of tea with gold plates

If it is about tea culture, in China, drinking was a fundamental part of society as it happens in neighboring communities (Korean, Taiwanese, Tibetan and Mongolian). However, in India tea was discovered only two centuries ago when it was found by two botanists of the British militia.​ ​

The best buds of spring were selected and manipulated by hand with white gloves and gold scissors so as not to desecrate the sacred power attributed to it. ​

For centuries white tea was restricted to the emperor, as it was thought to contain the secret to eternal life. ​ Nowadays teas have become accessible and it is one of the most exquisite infusions that exist, since they stand out for being the most delicate and subtle.

The combination of tea with gold plates is also an ancient and millenary tradition. Gold, which is an ancient symbol of prosperity and associated with eternal life, adds a special seasoning when it comes to preparing and drinking tea.

At Gold & Tea, we offer five varieties of tea to continue this age-old tradition. Gold & Tea teas are also a perfect gift for any special occasion.

In Japan, people enjoy tea with gold on New Year’s Day as part of a long tradition. The tea is consumed while praying for the welfare of the family and the good fortune of the previous year is appreciated. It is a special moment, full of happiness and hope for the future.

You can continue with this tradition not only on special occasions, but you can do so in the privacy of your home with your guests or loved ones.

Spray the gold foil over each cup of tea after preparing it.

The mild flavor of our teas creates a tranquil atmosphere, and the gleaming gold flakes glimmering on the surface of the tea delight and occupy the mind.

We recommend taking this exquisite combination in an appropriate environment of your home or work, but also in the open air as our videos show.

We hope you enjoy the beauty and taste of this special mixture of gold and our best tea.
