Description
Let me take you to the cloud-kissed slopes of Fujian’s Tai Mu Mountain, where tea trees have whispered secrets to the fog for centuries. In 2018, master tea artisans revived an ancient tradition, compressing first-flush white tea leaves into geometric squares – a nod to the Ming Dynasty’s “tribute tea” shapes. These blocks were born from the same soil that nourishes wild orchids, their silver-tipped buds plucked only during the lunar month’s brightest nights, as locals believe moonlight locks in floral purity.
Geometry of Nature: The Sun and Moon Alchemy
Lunar Harvest: Hand-picked at dawn after moonlit nights, selecting only “one bud, one leaf” sprouted in volcanic soil.
Sun Withering: 36 hours under bamboo screens, allowing coastal breezes to gently dehydrate leaves while preserving enzymes.
Compression Ritual: Pressed into 100g squares using Qing Dynasty-style stone molds, imprinting each block with mountain glyphs.
Natural Aging: Stored in mulberry-paper wrappers within cedarwood chests, absorbing seasonal humidity cycles for 7 years.
From Fresh Blooms to Aged Wisdom
Year 1-3: Crisp honeydew melon notes, with a finish like biting into dewy orchid petals.
Year 4-6: Developing layers of dried apricot and wild honey, wrapped in whisper of mineral mist.
Year 7+ (Present): Silken texture carrying aged cedar, crystallized ginger, and a lingering sweetness akin to mountain spring water.
The Mountain’s Wellness Code
Tai Mu Shan elders call this tea “liquid jade” for its healing properties:
Antioxidant Shield: 3x more catechins than green tea – combats urban pollution’s toll.
Gentle Detox: Enzymes from moon-dried leaves aid liver function and skin clarity.
Mindful Calm: Rare L-theanine content induces alpha brain waves for creative focus.
Unlocking the Moon’s Essence
To Brew:
Gongfu Style: 5g tea | 85°C spring water | 20s rinse, then 30s/40s/50s steeps. Use glass teaware to watch leaves dance.
Cold Alchemy: 3g in moon-charged water overnight – transforms into floral nectar with vanilla undertones.
