An organically grown white tea from Simao in Yunnan Province in China. It was harvested by hand at an altitude of about 1500-1600 m above sea level, a bud and one to two leaves plucking style. The tea leaves and young buds are covered with white down. When tea leaves are wilted, the back of the leaves turn almost black like the night's sky, while the buds are a pale moonlight color. The leaves can remind you the Yue Guang Bai (moonlight) white tea based on Yunkang No.10 or Jinggu Dabai cultivars, though we think that the attractive look of these two cultivars evolved to the detriment of the taste of a final product.
