This is the first “Moonlight White” tea that I’ve tried. I was pretty impressed with it! It reminded me of Silver Needle mixed with a slightly age white. I don’t like Silver Needle a whole lot, but this basically tasted like Silver Needle if Silver Needle was a tea that I enjoyed. Silver Needle – There, didn’t think I’d said Silver Needle enough in a review that’s not actually about Silver Needle.
I didn’t take super detailed notes about this, as I was drinking it while preparing to hand out candy to little children while dressed as a wizard. I got notes of straw along with some bassy fruit notes and a bit of malt and honey. I’d say the fruit is probably plummy, but it wasn’t particularly strong. This tea brewed up quite thick, in part I am sure because I used the whole 8g ball in my 100mL gaiwan. So now I know that Yue Guang Bai is good! Maybe I’ll pick some up next time I order from Yunnan Sourcing or elsewhere – I wonder how it would age.
Flavors: Honey, Malt, Plum, Straw
You should try sample of the Bai cake they sell. I quite liked it, had some sheng-like menthol iirc
Hmm, that sounds interesting. I’ll have to check it out, thanks!
