Featuring...

Iron Goddess of Mercy | 190-200 °F | 2.5-3.5 minutes (Green Coin)

An easy crowd-favorite for gifts! A floral-accented iteration of Anxi's famed, light roasted oolong. Named after the kind Buddhist Bodhisattva, and a legend of her uplifting a poor farmer & his village. Drifts between misty orchid, gardenia, and jungle rain for a cup of heavenly florals. Can flex between 2-4 minutes if you prefer subtle or stronger brews!

Raw Sheng Pu'erh | 190-200 °F | 5 minutes (White Coin)

One of Moonlit's original specialties when we launched! Antioxidant packed, unaged pu'erh leaves from the high mountains of Yunnan. Yields a mature, herbaceous personality with a light apricot sweetness.

Our favorite to surprise budding tea lovers, due to its rarity in California, and flavors unique to old Yunnan trees and pu'erh's sun-drying process. Satisfyingly complex and cleansing. Provides steady green caffeine like matcha.

Chrysanthemum Flower White | 212 °F | 5-6 minutes (Green Floral Print Coin)

A subtle cake for those who appreciate a more delicate flavor profile. This coin unites the healthy lightness of white tea and the cool, fruited florals of China's favorite tisane - golden chrysanthemum! Brews a soft juicy bite akin to lemon or kumquat, with a fresh pine-like finish.

Chinese Lemon Black | 200 °F | 5-6 minutes (Golden Coin)

The classic European combo of lemon & black tea...but Chinese style! Naturally reminiscent of Arnold Palmers, but sugar-free. Well balanced with smooth Yunnan black tea, & sweet Chinese lemon to avoid being overly sour or astringent. Simple, lifting, and perfect as your after-work pick-me-up.

Aged Mandarin Maocha | 212 °F | 6-8 minutes (Brown Coin)

A healthy, hidden gem for the patient brewer. Aromatic aged tangerine and raw sheng pu'erh combine for a mood-lifting sip of candy-like orange. Both prized for their medicinal benefits, this combo takes a while to unlock the aged mandarin - but also doubles as a safe, tasty "brew & forget it" tea that won't oversteep while you're busy!
