Ancient Moonlight White, Organic Fair Trade White Tea
Currently NOT Available
Varietal: Antique Menghai Da Yeh, Assamica
Harvested on April 5, 2010
Organic, Fair Trade Certified™ Ancient Tree Moonlight White is a tea made with minimal processing, relying mainly on ambient withering. This year, due to drought conditions, the fresh tealeaves
had less moisture and during processing, the tea dried at a faster rate, so this lot seems a bit less oxidized and has a noticeably fresher edge to it. Still, this tea has its distinctive fruity,
melon, honey and a bit flowery character. It has a truly unique character of ancient cultivated assamica with specific fruity, honey and brisk character that differs from the more savory Fuding
white teas. Prepare like white tea or try using more leaf, a guywan and prepare using gong fu cha method, similar to making pu-erh. ORGANIC
Use a porcelain Guywan (See
Below) , glass teapot or a Ho-Hin (See Below) . Infuse 4 tablespoons (6-7 grams) in 5-6 ounces of water. Use 185˚F water. Infuse the first infusion for 3 minutes, 2nd infusion for 3 minutes, 4th,5th and subsequent infusions for a longer
time based on the desired strength. / Ingredients: Organic Fair Trade Certified™ white
tea.

Traditional Guywan
Guywan (lidded bowl) is a traditional Chinese style of teaware. Typically, the guywan consists of a bowl, lid and saucer. The tealeaves are put in the bowl, water is poured over the tea, and the lid covers the bowl so the tea can infuse while maintaining its aroma. Traditionally, the lid keeps the leaves at bay while you sip directly from the bowl.
