Aged Organic Yunnan Moonlight White Tea
$28.00 – $38.00
‘Moonlight’ White Tea refers to high-grade white tea crafted from Yunnan large-leaf tea cultivars. An key trait of large-leaf tea cultivars is the abundance of little hairs on the shoots and leaves.
White tea craftsmanship involves a prolonged leaf withering process causing these tea leaf hairs to turn white/grey, while the backdrop color of the leaf itself turns a darker green or black. The resulting black/white contrast gave birth to the name ‘Moonlight’ White Tea.
We now carry first-flush Spring production batches from both 2020 and 2022. The more aged Moonlight White Tea has a mellow, rich, and full-bodied flavor with a long-lasting molasses finish, while the younger White Tea is more floral and vegetal. Aroma notes include maple, molasses, and honeydew.
Our Moonlight White Tea product has been specially pressed into limited edition 100g cakes, making it ideal for storage and aging, gifting, or travel.
This selection is USDA-certified organic, the highest tier of quality assurance for consumer and environmental safety. For more detailed information on White Tea, including production techniques and health benefits, check out our three-part blog series on the topic here.

The moonlight tea was great, it tastes more like I thought white tea would than the other white tea brick I had. Maybe its younger? Its tasty for sure.

I am thrilled to say that I have finally found authentic Chinese white tea! I selected a tea cake from 2020, which already has a mellow, rich, and full-bodied flavor with a long-lasting molasses finish. Aroma notes include maple and honeydew. Highly recommend!

Your 2020 Aged Moonlight white tea has become my favorite other than Darjeeling black tea, which has too much caffeine for me. I prefer black tea but shouldn’t have it. Therefore I am so happy to have found this aged white tea, which has so much more body and flavor than any other white or green tea that I have tried. I love it!
