Tea Description | Our Jinggu Moonlight White Pu-erh Tea Silver Needle is a unique tea to be sure. In China, this tea is also known as ‘Yue Guang Bai’ (Moonlight White) or 'Yue Guang Mei Ren' (Moonlight Beauty). The raw materials for Jinggu Moonlight White Pu-erh Tea Silver Needle are fresh tea leaves of the big white leaf cultivar called Camellia Taliensis in Jinggu county in Yunnan Provence. The tea leaves and young buds are covered with white down. The back of the leaves turn dark when they're 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 tea soup is yellow, and is thick and soupy, with an exquisite fragrance suffusing all around. The flavor is something unique too. There is a lot of complexity, with notes of fruit, flower, sugarcane, and a kind of bitterness that fades quickly. Moonlight White is suitable for ageing and the flavour will shift over the coming months and years. With even a few months of age, the bitterness will transform into fruit sweetness with a long lasting after-taste.
The tea has integrated the refreshing aroma of Oolong Tea and the mellow taste of Pu-erh Tea and is actually an excellent tea for drinking or storing.
