Loose Pu-erh tea Yue Guang Bai (raw)

Yue Guang Bai Pu-erh tea

Yue Guang Bai (月光白) translates into ‘moonlight white’ in English. It is a special Pu-erh tea that is harvested and processed mostly during the night under the moon light or early morning hours - the entire plucking and process avoids any direct sun light. The result is a tea that has:

1. a curl bud leaf – looks like a white moon
2. two open leave, top white and back black – as if the moonlight is shinning on the leaves.
3. it has unique refreshing and gentle sweet aroma and taste 

Recommendation for raw or ripened Pu-erh

All pu-erh teas have a woody/earthy aroma. The more they are aged, the more they develop a deep, mature aged fragrance and smooth texture, highly associated with the original source and quality of the tea leaves. It is very similar to premium wines in this regard.

For Pu-erh tea beginners however, a couple of recommendations will assist you to get started:

1. if you prefer teas that are not or lightly fermented, such as green or white tea, raw Pu-erh is more likely to be your taste
2. if you are more a black tea (fully fermented) or Oolong tea (semi-fermented) drinker, a ripened pu-erh is recommended.
