Moonlight White — Spring 2024
Harvested from old tea trees in the mountains of Jinggu, this rare Yunnan white tea is made using a slow, warm-air drying method — a technique that brings out its thick, honeyed texture and soft cooling finish.
The profile is layered and gently aromatic: floral and bright at the top, with cherry blossom, raw almond, and white grape; followed by a deeper base of malted milk, dry hay, and citrus pith. The liquor is creamy and comforting, with a quiet complexity that holds up over multiple steeps.

Brewing
5g tea / 100ml water / 85–90°C
Steep for 30–60 sec. Re-steep several times. Adjust to taste.
In the cup
White tea is naturally high in L-theanine, an amino acid that works alongside caffeine to create a smoother, more balanced lift. Because Moonlight White is minimally processed, much of this character remains intact.
The result is steady energy rather than a sharp spike. Clear, calm, and easy to drink.
A good choice for mornings, long stretches of focused work, or early afternoon.

How to brew
Our favourite way to brew tea. Use a gaiwan or small teapot and steep the leaves for around 30-45 seconds. Re-steep several times, adjusting the time as you go. Each infusion will bring out something slightly different from the leaves.
For a larger pot or a single longer brew, use around 1g of tea per 100ml of water. Steep for 3-5 minutes, then strain. Increase the leaf or brewing time if you prefer a stronger cup.
The simplest way to brew. Add the leaves directly to your mug, fill with hot water and start drinking once the leaves have opened and begun to settle. When you're around two-thirds of the way through, top up with more hot water and keep going.
