Moonlight White Tea (Yue Guang Bai)
Moonlight White Tea combines approachability with depth. As a white tea from Yunnan, it is soft and calm when brewed – yet remains distinct in character.
At Fairy Leaves, Moonlight stands not for effects, but for balance, provenance, and a long, clean finish. All Moonlight White Teas are selected and carefully processed in small batches.
What is Moonlight White Tea?
Moonlight White Tea (Yue Guang Bai) is a white tea from Yunnan that develops a unique character through its special processing. The leaves are gently processed and retain a natural depth that distinguishes Moonlight from very light, purely sun-dried white teas.
The result is a tea with a soft texture, delicate sweetness and a calm expression.
What does Moonlight White Tea taste like?
Moonlight White Tea is characterized by a calm, smooth character. Typical features include:
– soft and smooth in the mouth
– delicate, natural sweetness without heaviness
– often hints of honey, dark fruit or dried flowers
– smooth throughout, without bitterness or sharpness
– clear, long reverberation instead of quick effects
Moonlight White Tea is suitable for both a quiet, everyday brew and several concentrated infusions. It is approachable, yet remains complex enough to appeal to experienced tea drinkers.
Origin: Moonlight White Tea from Yunnan
Moonlight White Tea comes from Yunnan – a region known for its diverse tea landscapes and traditional cultivation methods. Here, teas are produced that don't appear industrially standardized, but rather retain their origin in the leaf.
Fairy Leaves selects Moonlight White Teas from small harvests and traditional gardens, where clarity, balance and tranquility are paramount in the infusion.
How Fairy Leaves Chooses Moonlight White Tea
Fairy Leaves selects Moonlight White Teas not according to trends, but for a calm infusion and clarity of character. Balance, lingering flavor, and authenticity are crucial – not effects or volume.
All teas come from small batches and are carefully selected.

Prepare and pour Moonlight White Tea
Moonlight White Tea is easy to brew and responds well to different dosages. For a clear, balanced infusion, several shorter brewing times are recommended instead of one long brew.
Water between 90 and 95 °C, a rather light dosage and patience between infusions bring out its subtle nuances particularly well.

Moonlight White Tea vs. Ancient Tree White Tea
Moonlight White Tea often has a softer and rounder character, with a warm depth and subtle sweetness. It is particularly well-suited as a calm introduction to tea or as an everyday companion.
Ancient Tree White Tea, on the other hand, usually exhibits a clearer structure, more tension in the infusion, and a very precise aftertaste. It exemplifies the timeless, authentic character of old tea trees.
Moonlight and Ancient Tree do not represent better or worse – but rather different paths to clarity in tea.
