Blood Moon returns as a fascinating outlier in the world of Yunnan tea. While it’s harvested and shade-dried in the traditional yueguangbai (Moonlight White) style, this batch underwent a deliberate partial oxidation—landing it roughly halfway between a white and a black tea. The result is a unique "hybrid" experience that mirrors the complexity of a well-aged white tea.
The liquor pours exceptionally bright and clear, offering a resilient sweetness and a plush, velvety mouthfeel. On the nose, you’ll find a playful dance between garden-fresh notes and deep fruit.
Current Tasting Notes: Soft strawberry and grassy honey dominate the palate. Marshmallow sweetness.
Aging Potential: While vibrant now, we expect the body to thicken and the flavors to deepen significantly with a few years of rest.
Weight: 200g per cake.
Vintage: 2025 Pressing.
Producer: White2Tea
Strictly speaking, its partial oxidation technically classifies Blood Moon as an Oolong. However, because it lacks the typical characteristics of that category and drinks much more like a bridge between white and black tea, we’ve categorized it as the latter. It is a beautiful, experimental tea that defies easy labeling.
