Yue Guang Bai White Moonlight White Tea is carefully handpicked by skilled farmers in Yunnan Province, where the tea plants thrive in pristine mountain environments. The leaves are harvested during the evening under the soft glow of the moonlight, which inspired the tea’s poetic name. Only the youngest, tender buds and leaves are selected to preserve the tea’s natural sweetness and rich aroma.

After harvesting, the leaves are spread out to wither under cool, shaded conditions, allowing them to oxidize naturally. This slow and meticulous process brings out the tea’s unique floral and fruity flavor while maintaining its delicate structure. Once the leaves reach the perfect level of oxidation, they are dried at low temperatures to lock in their characteristic two-tone appearance. Each step reflects the farmers’ dedication to creating a tea that’s both beautiful and full of flavor. Learn more about our artisanal tea-making practices on our About Us page.

How to Spot Premium Yue Guang Bai White Moonlight White Tea
High-quality Yue Guang Bai tea features leaves with a striking contrast: one side dark and the other silvery-white, resembling moonlight. The dry leaves should emit a fresh, floral aroma with hints of fruitiness. When brewed, the tea produces a clear golden liquor with a smooth, slightly sweet flavor and a lingering finish. Steeped leaves should unfurl completely, showcasing their intact, delicate structure and vibrant quality. For tips on selecting premium teas, visit our Help Center.
