Introduction
Moonlight White, also known as Yue Guang Bai“月光白", is a renowned Chinese white tea that originates from the Yunnan Province. This unique tea is harvested from the large-leafed Camellia sinensis var. assamica tea trees, known for producing robust and flavorful teas. The leaves and buds are picked during the night, giving the tea its evocative name. The leaves have a distinct appearance, with silvery-white buds and dark leaves. Moonlight White offers a complex flavor profile that combines sweet, floral notes with hints of honey and fruit. The minimal processing, which involves withering and drying under natural moonlight, helps to preserve the tea's natural essence and delicate aroma.
