2024 White2Tea Moon Waffles White Tea

2024 Moon Waffles, from White2Tea, is a compressed white tea made using lots of fuzzy white buds from Yunnan Big Leaf tea trees. The cakes are scored into a waffle shape, which makes it really easy to just break off a chunk when you're ready to prepare it.   Tasting impressions include fresh hay, florals, and sweet cream with a nice, hefty body.  

The tea was shade dried, which means that it was simply picked and then allowed to dry slowly in shade.  Because it wasn't oven-dried or sun-dried, the tea took a bit longer to get to a dry enough state for it be ready and that extra time means it went experienced a bit more of the flavor and color development that comes with oxidation. 

Each whole cake is 200 grams
