Yunnan White Moonlight (Yue Guang Bai)

This was my first White Pu-erh, and I officially like this type of Pu-Erh. This tea is very mellow, but potent with caffeine. It also is easy to re-steep yielding up to 4 cups. Like as advertised, it does have a bit of champagne smell and the taste is creamy, light, yet full bodied. Otherwise, the taste is a bit weaker since this is a white version of a Pu-Erh.

As for the company, M&K’s is very generous with prompt shipping, great discounts, and a degree of personable customer service that is hard to find. I personally go for stronger brews than their recommendations to get stronger and fuller flavors. When I did one teaspoon of this tea in particular, it was nice and fragrant, but kinda weak. I then upped another heaping spoon and the subtle sweet notes of cream and hay really came out. I did the same with some of their oolongs, and the results were the same. As for their blacks and green teas, their recommended amount and steep temperature are spot on. I would recommend this to someone who has intermediate experience with tea, and maybe to a newbie who likes light and creamier things, but I would not be too sure about a connoisseur. They might be underwhelmed by it or satisfied but not in love with it, unless White Moonlight so happens to be one of their favorites.

I don’t know if something was wrong with my tastebuds, but I had this the same day as the Shangri-La Black and Malawian Mist Oolong.. I didn’t really like this one either.
