Yue Guang Bai

Yue Guang Bai (月光白) — Moonlight White Tea from Yunnan

A delicate, velvety, and surprisingly "pure" white tea from Yunnan Province. Made with large leaves and buds from old Da Ye Zhong tea trees , it boasts a rich flavor without being heavy. The dry leaf is easy to recognize: the silvery buds and dark leaves create the contrast for which "Moonlight" is so beloved. This is a spring 2025 harvest.
