Silver Moonlight white tea a stunning white tea comprised of delicate silver needles and white tea leaves is no exception. As our Master Taster heard it while on a tea buying trip to the province Silver Moonlight tea was discovered many many centuries ago. Legend has it that a young maiden from a small village near the base of a mountain the only child of a local farmer and his wife fell ill one winter. Summoning a doctor was impossible as the family's village was unreachable by road during the wintertime. In desperation the family decided to venture up the mountain to the home of an old shaman that was rumored to live near its peak. The climb to the top took almost a full week the farmer having to carry his ailing daughter to the summit. By the time they reached the top the girl was dead. Distraught the farmer spoke to the shaman anyway. While there was nothing she could do to bring the girl back to life she made the farmer a promise: if he buried his daughter at the top of the mountain as an offering to the gods he would be rewarded for his loyalty to his only child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaman said that with her body resting so close to the heavens the girl's spirit would rise into the clouds to become moonlight and from its rays wherever they touched the earth in the spring tea would blossom. The man did as he was told and ventured back down to his home. Weeks later the snows of winter melted and the days and nights became warmer. One morning after a particularly warm night the farmer and his wife awoke to find their yard filled with shoots of new tea. They harvested a bowl full of the leaves brought some water to a boil and to their delight found it to be delicious. They christened the tea Silver Moonlight and from that day forward felt their daughter was always with them. Brew a pot today and discover one of the world's finest Chinese white teas for yourself. Plucked and processed entirely by hand - a tea as delicate as the light of the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fujian Province\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild grown white tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000-4000 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e White tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light notes of baked almond on a full flavored green tea.
