Where it Begins
Yunnan, China
From mountain gardens around Pu’er, Moonlight White is picked from large-leaf tea trees and withered slowly through the night instead of full sun. The result is a soft, honeyed cup with the quiet depth of Yunnan in every infusion.

Frequently asked questions
All Tea Ducks loose-leaf teas come in reusable, double-lidded metal caddies. The opaque tin keeps out light, and the two lids create a tight, low-air space to preserve aroma and flavour.
Each 5 g compressed tea cake is sealed in a premium high-barrier foil sachet, similar to those used for fine coffee, protecting the tea from light, odour and humidity.
At home, store your tea in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and strong smells. Keep the caddy sealed between uses and it will do the work of protecting your tea.
Our pure teas are 100% tea leaves only – no added flavourings, sweeteners or colourings – from partners in China’s tea regions.
Every batch is independently lab-tested to UK/EU standards with 600+ checks for pesticides, heavy metals and related residues.
We then pack the teas in airtight metal caddies or high-barrier foil sachets made from food-contact approved materials, to shield them from light, air, odour and moisture and preserve their original flavour and aroma.
On each tea you’ll see a Caffeine Intensity rating, based on a 300 ml first infusion:
-
Gentle – about 10–30 mg
-
Moderate – about 30–50 mg
-
Lively – about 50–70 mg
Caffeine drops quickly with each re-infusion, so later cups are much softer.
A standard mug of coffee is around 90–100 mg of caffeine. Tea also contains L-theanine, which softens the lift, so many people experience it as calmer than coffee.
As a guide: Gentle is often comfortable even into the evening, Moderate suits daytime moments, and Lively is best earlier in the day or when you want a clearer lift. If you’re very caffeine-sensitive, pregnant or breastfeeding, please follow medical advice on caffeine intake.
