Key Characteristics:

White Tea Elements:

• Silver-Tipped Leaves:
  Hand-harvested and minimally processed, the silver-tipped buds and first flush leaves are the heart of this tea. They impart a sweet, creamy body and soft floral aroma, offering a luxurious, smooth mouthfeel with minimal bitterness.

• Natural Sweetness:
  This tea’s inherent subtle sweetness arises from the young leaf tips, which develop delicate flavors reminiscent of wildflower honey, sweetgrass, and soft fruits. The sweetness is light and clean, without any added flavoring.

Flavor Profile:

• Floral & Honeyed:
  The dominant flavor of Silver Moonlight is gently floral—like jasmine and fresh meadow blooms—with a soft honey finish. It provides a comforting, soothing sensation that lingers on the palate.

• Fruity & Smooth:
  Hints of apricot, white peach, and cantaloupe add a delicate fruity dimension to the cup, balancing the floral notes and adding natural complexity.

• Soft Earthiness:
  Underlying notes of hay, fresh herbs, and warm grain create a grounding effect, giving the tea a serene, balanced flavor that’s both clean and subtly earthy.

• Silky Texture:
  The smooth body and velvety mouthfeel of this tea contribute to a luxurious drinking experience, making it ideal for slow sipping and mindful tea moments.

Brewing Tips:

• Water Temperature:
  Use water heated to 175–185°F (80–85°C) to preserve the delicate flavors and avoid bitterness. Water that is too hot can scald the leaves and overwhelm the tea’s subtle notes.

• Steeping Time:
  Steep for 3–5 minutes. A shorter steep will highlight the light, floral sweetness, while a longer steep will bring out richer, fruitier tones. Adjust to your preference.

• Amount:
  Use 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water. White tea leaves are fluffy, so using a scale or measuring by volume with a loose hand helps ensure a balanced brew.

Health Benefits:

• Rich in Antioxidants:
  White tea contains high levels of polyphenols and catechins, which may support immune health, combat oxidative stress, and promote overall well-being.

• Low in Caffeine:
  Naturally low in caffeine, Silver Moonlight offers a calm, focused energy—perfect for relaxing afternoons or quiet mornings without the jitters of stronger teas.

• Skin & Cell Support:
  The antioxidants in white tea may support skin health, cellular repair, and graceful aging, making it a gentle yet beneficial daily ritual.

• Hydrating & Soothing:
  With its clean profile and gentle properties, this tea is an ideal companion for hydration and relaxation throughout the day.

Serving Suggestions:

• Plain or Lightly Sweetened:
  Best enjoyed on its own to appreciate its naturally sweet and floral character. For a slightly richer profile, try a touch of honey or agave.

• Iced or Cold Brewed:
  For a refreshing twist, cold brew Silver Moonlight by steeping it in cool water for 6–8 hours. This method enhances its sweetness and smooth texture.

• Pair with Light Foods:
  Enjoy alongside delicate snacks like fresh fruit, cucumber sandwiches, or shortbread cookies to complement the tea’s soft, floral notes without overpowering them.
