This is a special tea made from Yunnan Camellia Taliensis varietal tea in Jinggu.  The bushes grow naturally and are 40-60 years old.  The tea is picked during the spring first flush, wilted slightly and then dried with warm wind tunneled through the tea until it is dry.  The tea shares a somewhat similar look and taste with white tea when it is young but over time will develop into something closer to red tea (hongcha).

The taste is sweet and thick with malty tones and the tea can be brewed 7 or 8 times before losing its flavor. 

Production period: Spring 2019

100 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)

Great Tea

"Wonderful. Great to show new tea drinkers what tea can like!"

— Christian C. (5/5)

Creamy cloud pleaser!

"Very nice Moonlight White tea. Sweet, soft, thick and fluffy cloud-like whipped cream hinting at vanilla flavor that carries on through the session. Mildly malty with subtle astringent character in later steeps. It’s a bit more elegant than the standard grade (but still delicious) loose leaf Moonlight white offered by YS, which I find to be more ‘hong cha malty honey’ from the get go. Awesome tea!"

— Ryan P. (5/5)

Great daily drinker, good value

"Maybe the most pleasant surprise of my recent order, this tea is creamy, sweet and malty, with some honey notes, works nicely for cold brewing as well. I'll get a full Tong of mini-cakes of this soon, great daily drinker. This tea isn't "special" or has a very unique identity, it's just very pleasant notes with a rounded flavour profile and nothing annoying to it."

— Emanuel K. (5/5)

Pretty good considering the price paid!

"Pleasant taste, beautiful mini cake!"

— Lorenzo F. (5/5)

10/10 would recommend

"Absolutely outrageously good tea. It reminds me of Nesquick. Very good body, quite smooth. I should have gotten a full tong."

— Jakob S. (5/5)

Loved it, aesthetically and taste wise!

"Really good tea, powerful flavour and sweet taste, remembering syrup peach. Definitely worth it considering the value!"

Q&A

The description says the bushes grow naturally, but I am wondering if this also means the bushes are not sprayed with pesticides. Thanks for any further info.
This is definitely a no-spray tea.
I was gifted one of this by a good friend. What is the best way to make the tea: One said to brew it like any other tea [?] while another advised me to boil it for 5 minutes. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
We recommend following our brewing guide: https://yunnansourcing.com/pages/brewing-guide-for-green-black-oolong-and-pu-erh-teas Brew it like you would black tea.
I bought a sample of yue guang bai of a 2009 cake from another vendor a while back. They listed it as a raw puerh. Is this considered raw puerh as well as a white tea? Should I store it in my aged white tea pumidor or my raw puerh pumidor?
It's not raw pu-erh, both the varietal and the processing is different than that of Pu-erh. For storage, I would store it with raw pu-erh. I don't think they would influence each other much in a close storage environment.
