Darjeeling Exotic Moonlight White

'Moonlight' refers to a unique style of white tea crafted using tender buds and young leaves, often harvested at dawn or under the moonlight. This gentle plucking, combined with minimal oxidation and natural withering, preserves the tea’s delicate aroma and soft, floral-fruity profile.

It’s a rare and refined process inspired by traditional Chinese white teas-now beautifully reinterpreted in Darjeeling.

Unlike typical white teas, Moonlight White is crafted from the earliest and most tender spring buds, using select clonal varietals. Its unique harvesting time and minimal processing result in a fuller aroma, subtle sweetness, and a more expressive cup-making it one of the most prized white teas from Darjeeling.

This isn’t a single-origin tea but a carefully crafted blend of select teas from 4–5 Darjeeling estates. Our master tasters blend with precision to achieve a balanced, signature profile - offering a cup that reflects the region’s character in a distinctive way.
