Flora In Bloom: Peach Moonlight White Tea

The Goddess of Blooming & Becoming Flora’s softness, sensuality, and quiet sovereignty could only be expressed through a tea built like a flower festival itself: Moonlight White Tea (Yue Guang Bai) There is a tea that carries the story of transformation in the leaf itself — and we believe that makes it one of the most extraordinary white teas in the world. Moonlight White, known in Yunnan as Yue Guang Bai, begins its life as leaves traditionally destined for pu-erh production. But instead of being fermented and pressed, the leaves are withered slowly in the shade, sometimes beneath moonlight itself, preserving an ethereal softness and unusually high levels of naturally occurring L-theanine. The result is a tea unlike any other: silver-white on one side, dark on the other, like moonlight against the night sky. Calm. Floral. Velvet-soft. A tea that drinks like its own mythology. Built atop this ceremonial white tea are five floral allies and three honeyed fruits: chamomile, rose, blue cornflower, vanilla orchid, peach, apricot, and apple.
