Nannuo Forest Trees Yueguangbai White Tea 2026

This tea is cultivated and cared for by Eastern leaves. Grown protected by mountain fog, the leaves of this Yueguangbai 月光白 (Moonlight) white tea carry the purest expression of a high mountain forest.

Harvested in early spring 2026, these big yet tender leaves bloom in their wild forest on Nannuo Mountain, where 40–50 year-old tea trees grow naturally in the shaded underwood. These trees, nourished by a rich biodiversity, lend their leaves remarkable clarity and depth.

In gongfucha, this white tea reveals all the fresh floral fragrances of a young Yueguangbai, with hints of fruity delicacy and tropical citrus notes followed by a clear honey sweetness. Vibrant and creamy in the mouthfeel, its energy grows brew after brew, invigorating the body and leaving a persistent refreshing feeling in the mouth. 

The optimal weather and environmental conditions of harvest 2026 allowed these leaves to grow with gentle sun and consistent fog. The good balance of sunny days that preceded and followed the harvest, allowed the leaves to store less catechins and produce more aminoacids, translating in less astringency and more fragrance. The Yunnanese traditional sun-drying technique was flawless, gifting all our Yueguangbai and Pu'er teas with a great aging potential.
