The Essence of Moondrop Tea: A Masterpiece in Every Cup

Moondrop Tea is a premium handcrafted tea designed for those who refuse to compromise on quality. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, every batch of Moondrop Tea is a labor of love. It is 100% handcrafted by expert artisans who possess generations of knowledge in tea processing.

The journey of a Moondrop begins in the misty mornings of March, during the coveted first flush season. Skilled hands pluck the finest leaves from our quality tea gardens in Panchagarh, a region gaining international acclaim for its unique terroir. These fresh leaves are then skillfully hand-rolled into tight, elegant balls. This painstaking process is crucial; rolling the leaves preserves the delicate essential oils and captures the vibrant flavor profile of the first flush tea.

Each pearl, weighing approximately 3-4 grams, is a capsule of flavor waiting to be unlocked. Upon infusion, the rolled tea ball unfurls gracefully, a visual dance that preludes the sensory delight to follow. It unleashes a complex bouquet of flavors—fruity undertones, mild grassiness, and a rich floral aroma that transports you straight to the verdant orchards and grassy meadows of North Bengal.

Tasting Notes: A Symphony for the Senses

To truly appreciate Moondrop Tea, one must engage all the senses. Our expert tasters have spent hours analyzing the profile of this luxury tea to provide you with a detailed guide on what to expect. While individual palates may vary depending on water quality, humidity, and teaware, the core characteristics of Moondrop Tea remain distinct and delightful.

Visual Appeal (The Leaf)

Before brewing, observe the dry pearls. They present a sophisticated palette of black and gray nuts, interspersed with approximately 15% brown hues. This coloration indicates a high-quality oxidation and processing method that locks in the flavor.

The Infusion

As the hot water meets the tea pearl, watch the transformation. The leaves unfurl to reveal their original form. After the infusion, the wet leaves display a beautiful light black and brown color, evidence of their premium origin. The leaves appear boiled and revitalized, returning to a semblance of their fresh state.

The Liquor

The resulting brew—the liquor—is a sight to behold. It pours a semi-red to light yellow color, a bright, golden liquid that catches the light beautifully. It is clear, vibrant, and inviting, promising a clean and refreshing taste.

Aroma and Palate

Moondrop Tea is characterized by its smooth texture and floral dominance. On the nose, you will detect a distinct hint of muscatel, a rare and prized characteristic often associated with high-altitude teas.

• Smell: Rich floral aroma with fresh orchard notes.
• Taste: Complex and fruity with mild grassiness.
• Aftertaste: Mellow and soft, lingering pleasantly on the tongue without bitterness.
• Experience: Refreshing and revitalizing, perfect for resetting your mind during a busy day.

This tea is a perfect example of a first-flush Panchagarh tea—bright, lively, and full of character. It is an artisan tea that delights the palate and invites you to take another sip.

The Perfect Brew: Moondrop Tea Brewing Guide

To extract the full potential of these exquisite pearls, proper brewing is essential. While personal preferences vary across different cultures, we highly recommend following our expert guidelines to achieve the best tea results. This method ensures that the delicate flavors of the first flush tea are not lost to scalding water or over-steeping.

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Quantity:
Use 1 Moondrop pearl per Catly (or per standard teacup/small pot). Because the pearls are densely packed (3-4 grams each), one pearl holds enough flavor for a robust cup and multiple steepings.

2. Water Temperature:
Temperature control is vital. Do not use violently boiling water.

• First, boil fresh water.
• Allow it to cool slightly to 90℃ – 95℃.
• Using water that is too hot can burn the delicate leaves and result in astringency.

3. Steeping Time:
Patience is a virtue, but timing is key.

• Steep the pearl in the hot water for a maximum of 2-3 minutes.
• Watch the pearl unfurl; this visual cue often aligns with the perfect brew time.

4. Serving Suggestion (Best Brewed):

• Place a tray or saucer over the teacup while steeping to trap the aromatic steam.
• Remove the lid, inhale the aroma, and enjoy.
• Hot or Cold: While traditionally enjoyed hot to savor the floral notes, Moondrop Tea is versatile. It can be chilled for a refreshing, sophisticated iced tea experience.

Multiple Steepings:
One of the hallmarks of high-quality luxury tea like Moondrop is its endurance. Do not discard the pearl after one cup. This tea is perfect for multiple steepings. As the leaves continue to open, the flavor profile evolves, offering a slightly different nuance with each subsequent infusion. Discover a tea that revitalizes you over multiple steps.

Unmatched Purity: From Garden to Cup

We take the term “purity” seriously. Our Moondrop first flush is made exclusively from 100% certified, pure, and unblended Panchagarh tea. Sourced from the world-renowned North Bengal estate, our tea remains untouched by artificial additives or lower-quality fillers.

In an industry often plagued by blending to cut costs, Tea Shop BD remains steadfast. We believe that the elite customer deserves the raw, unadulterated truth of the tea garden. Picked fresh in March from an artisan garden, this tea is as fresh as you will find anywhere on the planet.
