Each leaf of this Moonlight 1st Grade has a black and a white side: just like the moon, it dims or shines. We think it tastes as romantic as its name sounds. It is a kind of white tea that has sweet and delicate flavors and unexpectedly rich textures similar to Pu’er tea. As the classification ‘1st Grade’ suggests, this white tea comes from the finest part of the tea farm. Legend has it that the tea is picked and dried in the moonlight by beautiful local women, and you might have heard of it by its nickname “Moonlight Beauty”.
It is refreshing and will not become bitter even after brewing for a long time. You can drink this tea throughout the day. White Tea contains numerous antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties, such as ‘Catechin’.
Similar to other White Tea and Pu’er Tea, Moonlight’s post fermenting process can go on for decades, enhancing flavor and value over time.
