Avery F. drank Wild Tree Purple Moonlight White Tea from Jinggu by Yunnan Sourcing

135 tasting notes

I tried the April 2020 harvest. Visually, this is a very attractive tea, with fluffy, multicoloured leaves.

The dry leaves smell incredibly like apricots. When wet, they still smell like apricots, but a little less strongly.

The taste is balanced, mostly fruity but with some floral flavour coming through, and an initial bitterness that quickly fades. The texture is thick and silky. I usually don’t find textures like that in teas with predominantly fruity tastes, and it works really well here. Overall, a very nice tea!

Flavors: Apricot, Bitter, Floral, Fruity, Sweet

Preparation

180 °F / 82 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 90 ML

Bio

I like trying unique teas, especially those from areas of the world not known for tea production. It’s always something of a gamble and can lead to all kinds of surprises.

While I’m usually not into flavoured or scented teas, there are definitely exceptions. Hei cha which is not pu-erh tends to be my favourite category of tea, but I like some teas of all types. Smoky, creamy, and honey-like tastes generally appeal to me the most.

Top five teas I’ve had thus far (in no particular order):

Mekong Breakfast from Rakkasan Tea Company

2015 Gao Jia Shan “Cha Duo Tang” Wild Harvested Hunan Fu Brick Tea, from Yunnan Sourcing

Asahina Gyokuro “Hon Gyokuro” from Hojo Tea

Any good Lapsang Souchong

2018 Cha Yu Lin “Liu Bu Xi Village” Tian Jian Basket Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
