Inspired by the famous Yunnan Yue Guang Bai or Moonlight White style white tea, this mix of buds and leaves is dried without heat in bamboo baskets outdoors on breezy days fro quickly lock in teh deep complexity of the tea as it tastes picked fresh from the tree. This first batch was rested for a year before gentle steaming and pressing into 100g cakes, and then aged for several more years before release for deep complexity.
