Moonlight Beauty Tea – 2020 Vintage Yunnan Large-Leaf Sun-Dried Raw Pu'er, 357g Cake

Moonlight Beauty Tea, also known as Moonlight White Tea, is a distinctive creation from Yunnan's famous tea-growing region. Crafted from large-leaf sun-dried green tea, this tea presents a striking appearance – dark on one side, white on the other, resembling the glow of moonlight. Its name is inspired by both its visual beauty and its gentle, refined character.

Unlike the bold, assertive nature of many raw Pu'er teas, Moonlight Beauty is a tea of quiet elegance. It is gentle and soft like a young woman – clear, warm, and inviting. From its aroma to its flavour and liquor, every aspect of this tea reflects a feminine clarity and tenderness that sets it apart from conventional Pu'er.

This tea is made from carefully selected fresh leaves, which are naturally withered and dried under the moonlight – a traditional process that preserves the tea's natural sweetness and delicate fragrance. The result is a tea that is light, fragrant, and wonderfully approachable, even for those new to raw Pu'er.

Tasting Notes

Health Benefits

Moonlight Beauty Tea is naturally rich in beneficial compounds:

• Gentle on the stomach – softer and more approachable than many raw Pu'er teas

• Rich in antioxidants – supports overall wellness and a healthy immune system

• Calming and soothing – the gentle, floral character has a naturally relaxing effect

• Refreshes the mind – provides a clean, gentle energy lift

Brewing Recommendation

Steps:

1. Warm the vessel – Rinse with boiling water and discard.

2. Add the leaves – Break off a piece of the cake. Keep the pieces intact rather than crumbling.

3. Rinse (Awakening) – Pour boiling water over the leaves and immediately pour it out after 3–5 seconds. This awakens the leaves.

4. First infusion – Refill with boiling water, cover, and steep for 5–8 seconds. Decant into a fairness cup.

5. Subsequent infusions – Add 5–10 seconds to the steeping time for each additional brew. This tea holds its character for 8–10 infusions, with the flavour evolving from fresh and floral to deeper and sweeter.

Pro Tip: Moonlight Beauty is exceptionally forgiving – its gentle character means it rarely becomes harsh even if slightly over-steeped. This makes it an excellent choice for those new to raw Pu'er or for casual daily drinking.
