Yunnan Moonlight White | 雲南月光白

 Tasting notes: Wet forest, honey, honeysuckle
 Origin: Jinggu, Yunnan, China
 Cultivar: 雲南大葉 Yunnan Da Ye

 Elevation: 950m
 Oxidation: ⦿⦿○○○

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.

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.

Yunnan Moonlight White is a relatively hardy tea that can withstand high temperatures and prolonged steeping. At 80°C, the tea tastes lighter, more nuanced and more floral. A 95°C brew will yield a more full-bodied, sweeter tea.

These are just guidelines. As we always say, it’s best to experiment with a range of temperatures and leaf-to-water ratios to understand the tea and your own taste preferences.
