This is a unique tea to be sure. It's made from Wild Tree Purple varietal tea (ye sheng cha) growing in Jinggu county. The tea grows wild and is only harvested in March. The tea was processed using the same technique used for Yue Guang Bai, the tea wilts briefly before being put into a long wind tunnel tube, where the action of air movement gradually halts the oxidation of the tea.

The taste is something unique too. There is a lot of complexity, with notes of fruit, flower, sugarcane, and a kind of bitterness that fades quickly. With even a few months of age the bitterness will transform into fruit sweetness with a long lasting aftertaste. The tea soup is yellow, and is thick and soupy.

Reviews

Juicy, crisp and fruity.

"Reviewing the 2025 batch at about 18 months. I brewed this tea starting at 90 C, 3 grams in a 100 ml gaiwan. For the first six pours or so I got rich, flavorful infusions pretty much just in the time it took me to put the kettle down and take a quick peek. First 2-3 infusions are golden, crisp and fragrant, with a light tang and a strong almost piercing fruity-tropical smell - think peaches, ripe melon and guava. Makes me think of good dry cider, beers with citra hops (sans bitterness) or wheat beers, and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Holds up well to strongly seasoned food for a white tea. From about the third infusion it starts picking up an amber color and the fruit starts to balance out with sweet, floral, woody, and light spice notes, flavors from the light 18 month "aging" as well as some that surprisingly suggest silver needle like apricot skin and vanilla. From infusion 7 I started to push it with boiling water and longer steeps, still a compelling tea but at this point the fruitiness is present mostly in the aftertaste and the tanginess doesn't mesh quite as well with the more oxidized and woody notes. Overall a drinkable but complex, unique and dynamic tea, and a great first white tea to introduce people to. Next year I'll probably try both the fresh spring tea and the pressed and aged versions of this tea."

Amazing

Yeah this one is a banger

"The smell of this tea is so strong that I thought there must be some sort of artificial scent. It literally smells like peaches. Luckily, there doesnt seem to be any artificial flavoring or anything, the tea tastes very good and pretty sweet/perfumey. I used around 195F water and 5g leaves and 100ml water and it comes out good."

Sweet fruity white tea

"This tea was very fruity. Dry leaves had an incredible aroma and the tea was light, sweet, and delicious. It had notes of peach white tea at times. Showed it to many non tea drinkers who really loved it. Would buy again."

Fruity, sweet, light

Wild, sweet, and surprisingly rich

"Brewed this Wild Tree Purple Moonlight White at a 1g:20mL ratio with 94°C water, starting at 20 seconds and adding 20 seconds each round for a total of ten infusions. The dry leaf comes across as intensely aromatic, with a mix of bright fruit and flowers that already hints at a peachy, grape-like sweetness and light sugarcane note in the cup. Once the leaves are wet, the aroma turns deeper and more layered: still fruity and floral, but with a faint herbal edge and that “wild” purple character that gives it a slightly untamed feel. The mouthfeel is notably thick for a white tea, with a yellow liquor that feels smooth, dense, and a bit soupy on the palate without ever becoming heavy. Early steeps lean fruit-forward and sweet, with a quick flash of bitterness that fades fast into a long, lingering aftertaste, while the later infusions gradually settle into softer florals and gentle sweetness as the body lightens. Overall it comes across as a very characterful wild white tea: complex, textural, and aromatic enough that this longer ten-infusion session really lets its layered personality show. ​"
