2024 Jingmai Moonlight White - PREORDER

Preorder ETA: Early May

Our very first custom-designed tea cake from Jingmai’s ancient forests – available now for a limited-time preorder.

If you’ve been with us long enough, you know how much we love Jingmai teas. This year, we took our love one step further—by working directly with the same Jingmai tea farm that produces many of our all-time Jingmai favorites to design our very own 2024 Jingmai Moonlight White Tea cake. This is a first for us—and it’s a special one.

Grown high up in the UNESCO-recognized ancient tea forests of Jingmai Mountain in Yunnan, this white tea is something extraordinary. Jingmai’s old-growth tea trees thrive in the cool mist and rich biodiversity of the mountain, untouched by any chemicals or pesticides, and you can taste that purity in every sip.

Known in Chinese as 月光白 (Yuèguāng Bái), or “Moonlight White,” this tea gets its name from the way it’s made—harvested in the cool evening and withered gently under moonlight (as opposed to the sunlight). This slow, careful drying preserves the leaf’s natural enzymes and protects its delicate aroma, resulting in a tea that feels as clean, soft, and calming.

Once you brew it, you’ll know exactly why we fell in love. It opens with soft wild floral notes, like opening a box of fragrant dried flowers. Then comes a deep agave-like sweetness—thick, syrupy, and smooth. The texture is incredibly rich and coating, like warm silk in the mouth and throat, with no dryness. The sweet floral aftertaste lingers in the mouth and nose. 

This tea also ages beautifully. Over time, it develops richer, deeper flavors—more sweetness, more character, more magic. You can enjoy it now, or set a part of the cake aside and let time do its thing.

This is a preorder-only release at a special discounted price. Once it arrives and hits the shelf, the price goes up. So if you’re a Jingmai lover—or just love teas that are meditative, complex, and full of soul—this is the cake to grab now.
