Moon Festival Tea Gift
Mid-Autumn is the night the moon is full, and the table should be too — tea, poetry, mooncakes, the people you miss. It is still the holiday when tea is the scholarly gift: something to send, to share, to drink while looking up.
Why these teas
This is one box of six teas, six wishes. Yellow Tea into White Tea, Dan Cong into Yan Cha, Red Tea into Sheng Pu. One sitting, one gift — to brew together, or to send.
Tasting quantity
One box of six teas.
The Six Teas
- Wu Liang Shan (Yellow Tea) 無量山（黃茶）
Bang Mai, Wu Liang Shan, Jing Dong
From Bang Mai, Wu Liang Shan, Jing Dong. Ancient heirloom trees whose leaves are almost always kept for Sheng Pu — here they are yellowed instead, so the cup is warmer and rounder than Green Tea: sweet corn, white asparagus. Wu Liang Shan means limitless mountain. - Wild Bai Mu Dan 白牡丹
Dian Tou, Fu Ding
From Dian Tou, Fu Ding, the birthplace of White Tea; wild trees, sun and wind only. White Peony is the king of flowers — wealth and honor — and a pale bloom that longs for the moon (花好月圓). In the cup it is floral and pillowy, like sun-soaked cotton, with osmanthus and a cool edge of fresh melon. - Mi Tao Xiang 蜜桃香
Ping Keng Tou, Feng Huang Shan
Honey Peach, from Ping Keng Tou, Feng Huang Shan. A Dan Cong with that village’s buttery body; fine tannins melt into peach skin and a thread of flower. The peach is a traditional wish for a long life. Sweet, lasting, not showy. - Shi Ru 石乳
Hui Yuan Keng, Wu Yi Shan
From Hui Yuan Keng, Wu Yi Shan. Shi Ru means stone milk: Yan Cha with rock bone and a tender, juicy cup, deep orchid rather than loud fragrance. Mineral structure under the festival’s sweetness. - Wild Qi Men Hong Cha 祁門紅茶
Li Xi, Qi Men
Qi Hong is prized for a lavish cup: rose, honey, butterscotch. This lot is from Li Xi, Qi Men — the village that began Keemun — wild leaves from the Gu Niu Jiang reserve. Fully fermented, it sits naturally beside mooncake. - Guo You Lin 國有林
Man Zhuan
Guo You Lin means national forest: ancient-tree Sheng Pu from Man Zhuan, one of the six old mountains east of the Lan Cang River. Vegetal, floral, buttery. Pressed as a mini cake so the gift itself is round — the full moon in the box.
