Overview

Moonlight beauty (Premium Moonlight White) is produced in Yunnan Province, China. The tea leaves and young buds are covered with white down. The back of the leaves turn dark when they are wilted, resembling ‘white moonlight’ during the night, hence another explanation the name. The fragrance of the dry tea leaves is fresh and the infusion tastes smooth, sweet and soft. The aroma and texture of this tea reminds one of an aged white tea. Because aged white teas are more popular in China than fresh white teas, the Moonlight White is also often classified as a white tea.
