Moonlight Yunnan black tea organic
This tea is best known for its white tea version. This beautiful tea is black and it has large black leaves with many white/brown shoots. It is a flavor bomb, full and strong with fine sweetness and a soft flowery taste.
As for the name, it is rumored that it is actually harvested in the moonlight, but it sounds like a story, especially considering that it is not even bushes that you pluck the leaves from, but tall trees. The more reasonable story is that it resembles the Da Bai Hao Oolong tea with white shoots, many of which can be found in this tea, making it appear to shine moonlight on the leaves lying in the dark of night.
On the other hand, the Chinese pay a lot of attention to the phases of the moon and the finest teas are harvested in connection with the full moon, so why not this tea as well.
