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.
