Description

An exceptional tea cake celebrating 40 years of Palais des Thés

This white tea comes from Yunnan and is harvested from majestic Jing Gu Da Bai tea trees planted in the same year that our very first store opened… 40 years ago.

To create this tea cake, the buds and large tea leaves undergo overnight withering – a traditional process that gives this tea its poetic name, “Moonlight” – before being dried and carefully stone-pressed using traditional methods.

This Grand Cru reveals a golden liquor with a complex and luminous profile. On the palate, it offers a silky-smooth texture, intertwining refined floral notes with yellow fruits and delicious nutty notes, followed by delicate vanilla nuances.

This white tea is designed to improve with age, echoing an old saying: “One year it is tea; three years, medicine; seven years, a treasure.”
