Night Tea Night!

Hi everyone! I have a question for you all! I am arranging a fun little night time tea gathering with some friends soon, which I’m calling “Night Tea Night” (pun intended). It’ll be an evening of Gongfu style tea sharing and possibly a bonfire or something of the like. For the event I am hoping to feature “night” themed teas. As I am planning to brew Gongfu style, I will need these to be loose teas that do well with that method, so I’m kind of aiming more toward pure teas and not so much blends or tisanes, but let’s see what you guys can come up with. I’m open to ideas. I am thinking I will probably only do 3 teas max, which makes this a lot easier because I already have two picked out that I have on hand.

First I’ll be serving Purple Sunset Oolong from Butiki Tea. It’s an oolong made from the Kenyan purple tea varietal.

I’ll also serve Moonlight White loose puerh from Bana Tea Company, a tea which is made through a peculiar process where the leaves are dried at night.

I just need one more! Any ideas? I bet you all could name a few! I am looking mostly for teas with some kind of evening or night reference in the name, to suit the theme, but it doesn’t have to have that exactly. It could be something sort of night related (stars, moon, night animals, etc).

My other option might be to have the third tea be a tisane or something which is caffeine free and can easily be enjoyed at night. Possibly butterfly pea blossom. It brews up a nice midnight blue.

How about it? What teas do you suggest? Keep in mind I’ll more than likely have to track one down and purchase it, so if you can recommend a specific vendor that might be helpful too.
