White Tea MoonLight - 100g

White Moonlight - The moonlight comes from Yunnan Province in Jinggu County, specifically from Ming Le Village. This variety is derived from a shrub called Yangta Da Bai Cha (also known as Jinggu Da Bai Cha). Yangta Da Bai Cha tea can be recognized by its large silver-white buds and its distinctive "fresh olive" aroma. The processing of Yue Guang Bai involves a long post-harvest wilting period. The white moonlight is completely air-dried; differs from Fujian white tea in that it is usually not baked in an oven at the end of processing in order to completely dry the leaves. In addition, Yue Guang Bai's natural drying is completed in a much shorter time, usually within 24 hours, as opposed to the more than 36 hours required for natural drying in Fujian. Such variations are possible in warmer and drier climates.

The biggest difference is that drying is usually done in "darkness". Yue Guang Bai leaves do not fade to the typical noon sun. Rather, they are dried under shelters, indoors, or may even dry outside at night (poetically speaking) "in the light of the moon".

It is believed that drying in the dark gives the tea a milder feel. Even with a shorter drying period, the back side of Yue Guang Bai leaves appears well oxidized and almost black. The deep color does not necessarily indicate a higher degree of oxidation than Fujian white tea, but is actually the difference between Yangta Da Bai Cha Tea Varieties. Some sources suggest that Yue Guang Bai actually got its name from the visual contrast of the silver-white glow of the outer leaf and the buds with the almost black inner leaves, reminiscent of the moon at night in the sky.
