Origin & Terroir of Yue Guang Bai
Tea Origin (Jinggu County, Pu’er, Yunnan)
This Yue Guang Bai (Moonlight White Tea) is a loose leaf Yunnan white tea from Yangta Village, Jinggu County (Pu’er), Yunnan. Made from Jinggu Dabai (Camellia sinensis cv. “Jinggu Dabaicha”), it represents the clean, sweet style of Jinggu white tea.
As a loose leaf version (not pressed into a cake), the leaves stay more intact with less breakage and fewer small fragments, helping the aroma release quickly and the cup stay clean. With autumn-picked material, it brews a slightly fuller, smoother texture than ultra-delicate bud-only styles—floral-fruity with a gentle honeyed note, soft mouthfeel, and a comfortable lingering sweetness for daily brewing.
Our Selection Focus (Yue Guang Bai)
We don’t lock sourcing to one fixed farmer or a single garden, because tea is an agricultural product and quality can vary year to year. Each season, we collect samples through multiple channels and repeatedly test and taste them.
For Yue Guang Bai (Moonlight White Tea), we prioritize value-for-money, a fuller tea character, liquor clarity, clean sweet aroma, and stable brewing endurance. We then select the lot that tastes smoother and more consistent—so it performs well as a reliable, everyday loose leaf Yunnan white tea.
