Tasting – Sight and smell
This Wind and Moon Wu Liang organic white tea cake has rather large size whole leaves. The colors are gorgeous: sage green, deep brown, light brown, and silvery white buds create a mix of hues that really satisfies the eye. Once infused, the leaves give off sweet fragrances of honey and yellow fruit, vague herbaceous notes and floral hints. The liquor in the cup is golden and clear, light-bodied and drinkable without bitterness or astringency.
Tasting Notes
GONG FU CHA
The first infusion of Wind and Moon Wu Liang organic white tea is very delicate: hints of honey from sulla and white sugar immediately denote the very sweet character of this tea. There are also light hints of wildflowers and a freshness that balances the sugary notes well. With the second infusion, hints of vanillin and fruity notes of dehydrated apricot, apple, and peach compote emerge. The honey note is the predominant one in the third infusion, with light floral hints of chamomile to close.

How to prepare
We highly recommend infusing this the Wind and Moon Wu Liang organic white tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) can be used in a gaiwan of about 85 ml to make several infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinse of the leaves in 95°C water, an initial infusion of 20 seconds can be made, and after that, keeping the water at the same temperature, the time can be increased each time by 5 seconds compared to the previous infusion (20 – 25 – 30 …)
This tea has a longevity of about 8 infusions.
For a classic preparation according to the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (approx. 2 teaspoons) in a 150 ml cup with water at 95°C for an infusion time of one and a half minutes.
The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the moment of tasting, and also the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.
It is recommended that Wind and Moon Wu Liang organic white tea be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
