Featuring...

Aged Mandarin Peel Aged White Tea (Orange)

Naturally sweet, and aged to subtle perfection - this coin shows off a popular flavor from TCM herbal concoctions - Chén Pí 陈皮!

Sun-dried, aged mandarin peel is prized for aiding sore throats and digestion - but also in Cantonese soups simply for its aroma, complexity & uniquely elegant sugar built by time - all balanced with the similarly aged, mellowing earthen tones of low-caffeine white tea.

Together, they offer a easy to digest, easy drinking token of citrusy sugar you can enjoy without the guilt. A quaint evening treat, that doubles as a mild digestive & bloating aid!

Big Red Robe Dark Oolong (Red)

AKA Da Hong Pao, the soothingly smoky poster-child of Wuyi - the "King of Rock Teas". Born in mineral rich, rocky cliffsides, and fabled to have cured the grave illness of a Ming Emperor's mother, it's famous for representing the depth of dark roasted & high oxidation oolongs. Yields an earthen brew with a lasting minerality - satisfyingly full-bodied and hearty.

This one's our personal favorite! Especially when needing to get intense work done. Not as overbearingly smoky as pine-roasted Lapsang, but deeply toasty & mellow-sweet in a way that hits the spot for Dark Roast coffee and Dark Chocolate lovers.

We find our Red Robe Oolong grants a solid boost of energy and steady mental focus like Matcha - surprisingly calm & controlled - but without the jitters of coffee & energy drinks.

Iron Goddess of Mercy (Dark Green)

China's crowd-favorite! 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.

While the oldschool style roast uses the tea cultivar to show off caramelized, smoky tones - this modern Qing Xiang or "Clear Fragrance" style of Iron Goddess highlights the leaves' natural tones, in the likeness of Taiwan's now world-famous high mountain oolongs.

Unaged "Raw" Sheng Pu'erh (Black & White)

One of Moonlit's original specialties when we launched in 2025! Antioxidant packed, unaged pu'erh leaves from the ancient groves 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 Yunnan's more mature leaves and pu'erh's sun-drying process. Satisfyingly complex and cleansing. Provides steady green caffeine like matcha.

For those accustomed to the richly earthen, jet black pu'erh of dim sum - this is the original fresh base from which the dim sum tea is aged from! "Raw" or maocha pu'erh, similar to white tea, is not fully "fixed" or "cooked" like green tea - so over time, tea's natural protein polyphenol oxidase continues to subtly ripen these leaves flavor.

Osmanthus Flower White (White)

For those who love jasmines and other florals, this token of delicate white tea is a lovely foray into a blossom not often seen in California - Osmanthus!

A tiny, subtropical golden flower native to East Asia, this bloom alongside jasmine & magnolia are some of China & Taiwan's classics for imbuing elegant flavors and skin-focused health benefits - similar to how rose and lavender are beloved in the West!

While not as funky & potent as our Osmanthus Light Oolong, Osmanthus White offers a more subtle, low-acidity & low-caffeine dose of apricot-like florals mingled with the sweetly herbal, garden air-esque sips of Bai Mu Dan (aka White Peony) white tea. Gentle on the stomach, and just sweet enough for a healthy after-dinner "dessert" or nightcap.

Lemon Peel Duckshit Fragrance Phoenix Dancong (Yellow)

Funny enough...yes. This is the actual traditional name! But no, fortunately there are no actual ducks or duckshit involved - besides a very silly name meant to deter would-be tea thieves centuries ago 🦆🌱

No tour of oolongs would be complete without the Phoenix Mountains most infamous cup. A great representation of this tea region's more floral & honey-like heirloom oolongs, Duckshit Dancong or "single-bush" tea is often paired with local citrus peel for a classic honey-lemon sweetness with no sugar. Perfect for a summer's day :)

Highlighting the happy middleground of oolong roast & oxidation, we hope you enjoy this last entry to round out your tea flight~
