In Gu Shu Moonlight tea lovers can celebrate a true rarity. In a way this tea is very clean and tasteful. The most prominent note of it is definitely apple and honey. The scent of the dry leaves is somewhat ripe, as jam or compote. And this fruity feel is mixing with the thick, pampering aroma of honey. When brewed, the honey undertones fade and the sweet ripe apple prevails.
The tea liquor is bright gold, and despite of the straight sirupy aroma, it is far from heavy, it feels light and silky on your tongue, with a lingering sweet mouthfeel. As there is no bitterness whatsoever, it is somewhat easy to experiment with this tea. Steep it for a little longer time than suggested, you will just end up with a darker, bronzy tea liquor with the flavour of baked apples, coated with the all time present honey. The tea has a lasting after taste and goes many steeps.
Beside the dreamy scent of ripening plough-lands and nectar, Gushu moonlight definitely brings the air of history as well, as it is plucked from a tree as old as 800 years.

How to prepare
3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp
85°C 185°F
100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc
20 sec.~
STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Brew (no need to rinse this tea). Pour hot water on the tea leaves (about 85°C) and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (from the time of the first infusion).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
