Two leaves and a bud
Also known as ‘fine plucking’, the plucking of the bud and the next two tea leaves of the tea plant is a symbol of true perfection. The two tender leaves at the top of the plant are the freshest growth and the richest in ‘catechins’ and ‘theanine’ – two vital medicinal compounds. Natural antioxidants are concentrated in the two leaves and bud. It’s also the best part of the tea plant that gives your cup of Tea Drop teas its fresh taste and aroma with healthy goodness.
