Sourced from 100-year-old trees, this tea consists of a silvery bud with a dark leaf, reminiscent of a crescent moon in the night sky. This tea is pressed into a chocolate-shaped bar for easy brewing. Just break off a square, brew it in hot water and enjoy!

Why we love it:

• It is incredibly fragrant and silky sweet, with a depth of flavour that lasts for multiple infusions.
• It has a high proportion of furry white buds, the most prized part of the tea plant with a high concentration of nutrients.
• It is withered in the shade, rather than the sun, for a richer, sweeter flavour.
• It is made from a big leaf cultivar native to Yunnan, with buds so large you see and feel the silvery white fur on them. The fur gives a delicate flavour and soft texture to the tea.
• The tea bar shape is super compact, great for travelling.

This 60g bar has 12 squares of tea and you can brew each square 4-5 times, depending on the size of your brewing vessel.
