This one has a grassy scent and taste to it. Like dried grass. I’ll be honest, I might be more in love with the name and story than the flavor. That’s not me saying I don’t like this tea. Just that I love the idea of drinking a tea steeped in moonlight for a night before being packaged. It just makes it seem that much more spiritual and meditative. And I think this would make a good meditation tea.
There is the slightest hint of sweetness to this in the aftertaste, turning the grassy, spinachy flavor a little more hay-like. That probably comes a bit from steeping it at such a low temperature. I’m not getting any stringency or bitterness
I do like this white tea, although I usually prefer more flavored whites. But this is a very nice “pure white tea” flavor.

I’ve been exporing moonlight teas recently and I thought my favorite steep temp was 80C. Today a friend suggested boiling water and flash steep time. The one I’m drinking tonight is really good with this application. I haven’t tried the one you were reviewing, but thought you might find it interesting. :))
Interesting! I’ve done white teas in boiling water (they tend to turn bitter, like green – I don’t mind it, but I usually prefer it at the lower temperature), but I don’t think I’ve tried flash steeping it (I have a tendency to oversteep than understeep). Thanks, I’ll try it next time!
