White moonlight tea leaves, air dried slowly in Yunnan's spring, are quite brittle. Steam makes them soft and malleable again, allowing the artisan to press them into a tea cake, or to pack them in pieces of green bamboo. Those chunks of bamboo are then roasted over charcoal, allowing the steam (essence) of the bamboo to be imbedded into the tea leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt is important to do this slowly, preventing the leaves from being over-cooked and the bamboo from being burned. It is also critical to dry the tea thoroughly, allowing it to age without any interference of mould. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBamboo is both a container (it's really cool to have one of these 'tea sticks) and a co-author; it has a significant impact on the flavour and mouthfeel of your tea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eModern Pu'er City storage standards codify this explicitly, specifying bamboo materials that are clean, mould-free, and structurally sound. But bamboo also contributes something of its own. Studies on bamboo-tube teas have identified over 40 volatile compounds in the resulting liquor — among them linalool (floral, slightly citrus), eucalyptol (cool, woody), phenylacetaldehyde (honeyed, aldehydic), and lactone-type notes that read as warm and almost creamy. These compounds come from both the tea and the bamboo, layered together over time into something neither would produce alone. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"632\" data-start=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e   Huazhu Liangzi (Yunnan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"632\" data-start=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:  \u003c\/strong\u003e2024 (using 2023 leaves)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"632\" data-start=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing recommendation: \u003c\/strong\u003e5g tea \/ 110g water @ 90°C, 25\", \u0026gt;15 steeps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"632\" data-start=\"0\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(18, 108, 243);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Authors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFan Xiuli and Gao Feng are featured often in our newsletters.
