Description
Product Description
This Moonlight White Single Bud is crafted from the tender single buds of ancient tea trees, processed using the traditional Yunnan sun-dried green tea method. The tea is named for its striking appearance – plump, stout buds covered in silvery-white down, straight as needles, and gleaming like silver.
The dry buds are thick, robust, and heavily covered with fine white fuzz. They display a silvery-grey lustre that catches the light beautifully. When brewed, the liquor is a bright apricot-yellow, delivering a mellow, full-bodied taste with a pleasant, lingering sweetness.
This is a 2026 spring harvest, offering the fresh, vibrant character of young raw Pu’er with excellent aging potential.

Brewing Recommendation
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Teaware | A gaiwan (120–150ml) or a Yixing purple clay pot |
| Tea amount | 8g |
| Water volume | 120–150ml per infusion |
| Water temperature | 95–100°C (203–212°F) – freshly boiled water |
Steps:
-
Warm the vessel – Rinse with boiling water and discard.
-
Add the leaves – Place the tea into the warm vessel.
-
Rinse (Awakening) – Pour boiling water over the leaves and immediately pour it out after 3–5 seconds. This awakens the leaves.
-
First infusion – Refill with boiling water, cover, and steep for 5–8 seconds. Decant into a fairness cup.
-
Subsequent infusions – Add 5–10 seconds to the steeping time for each additional brew. This tea holds its character for 8–10 infusions.
Pro Tip: For young raw Pu’er like this, avoid over-steeping in the first few infusions – the fresh character can become slightly astringent if left too long. As the leaves open up, you will notice the sweetness and body increasing with each subsequent brew.
Storage Advice
To allow this tea to continue improving over time, please follow these guidelines:
-
Store in a dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight.
-
Avoid strong odours – tea absorbs surrounding scents easily.
-
Ideal conditions: temperature 20–30°C, relative humidity 50–70%.
-
With proper care, young raw Pu’er develops deeper, more complex flavours with age.
