YunNan Pu'er Chenghua Yetian Moonlight White Tea, usually simply called Moonlight White Tea, is mainly produced in areas such as Jinggu Dabai Tea in Simao Prefecture of Yunnan Province, Lancang Jingmai, and Lincang. Its picking method is unique. Only one - bud - one - leaf or one - bud - two - leaf close to the bud tip are picked, and the picking must be done under moonlight. The rough processing of each batch of tea leaves has to be completed within one day. This special picking method endows Moonlight White Tea with unique qualities and a mysterious charm.
The dry tea leaves of Yetian Moonlight White Tea are white on one side and black on the other, showing a distinct color difference. After brewing, the color of the tea soup changes from yellow to red and then back to yellow, being clear and refreshing. The aroma is rich, lingering, and ethereal. It has both the delicate fragrance of oolong tea and the mellow taste of Pu - erh tea. The taste is full - bodied, mellow, and warm. After drinking, it leaves a long - lasting fragrance between the teeth and cheeks, with an endless after - taste.
