white2tea 2025 ‘Blood Moon’ White Tea 200g

Another of White2Tea's justifiably famous cross genre hybrid teas, and one that sells out quicker and quicker every year - 2025 Blood Moon is a white tea with black tea characteristics, or a black tea with white tea characteristics. Either way it's juicy, succulent, mouthwatering and moreish, and a personal favourite of ours in the shop since it first emerged on the scene.

Just look at those buds, the way the leaf looks when rehydrated is jewel-like, resembling a succulent more than a deciduous leaf. Plush in every way.

How do we still have this? Well for one we forgot to put it online for a year. Anyway, while it lasts and if we don't drink it all first, enjoy Blood Moon. Awoo.

Each cake is 200g.. Pressed in 2025.

W2T defines the style thusly:

 "A bit of an odd hybrid Yunnan tea. Picked and processed most similarly to yueguangbai or moonlight white tea that has been shade dried, this tea was also intentionally partially oxidized, about half way to being a black tea*. It's a unique tea that feels closer to an aged shade dried white.

*For categorical boxes, Blood Moon doesn't quite fit into either the white or black tea box, and technically is probably an oolong, due to it's partial oxidation during processing. However, for ease of understanding of this tea, since it drinks more like a black tea/white tea hybrid, we have listed it across those two categories rather than as an oolong tea, which in practice, it does not really resemble at all."
