Inspiration can be found everywhere, music can be very inspiring. I experienced a musically inspired moment while preparing a Moonlight White Pu’erh Tea and listening to a Beatles song written by George Harrison, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and coincidentally the song is from the White Album. Tealightfully inspired by this, I swapped the words ‘while my guitar gently weeps’ with ’while my white tea gently steeps’ and smiled: tea humor from a Beatles song!  I penned the following lyrics, inspired by the Beatles and I dedicate this parody to everyone who loves tea.

 

While My Moonlight White Gently Steeps

I look and I see your leaves sweetly floating
While my white tea gently steeps
I look at the white tea pur’er ready for devoting
Still my white tea gently steeps

I know why this Moonlight White is so lovely
as the leaves float with love
I know you are aged, someone controlled you
the sweet honey finish sold you

I look at the tea and see leaves are turning
While my tea gently steeps
With every moment there is a deep yearning
Still my tea gently steeps

I know you are delicate and smooth
you are subtly sweet too
I know you are like moonlight, you soothe
still my white tea gently steeps

I look and I see leaves sweetly floating
While my white tea gently steeps
I lovingly wait for your delicate aging
Still my white tea gently steeps

Moonlight White Tea Sipping Notes: 

Add one to two spoons per 16 oz/475ml. Use near boiling water and steep the long leaves 4-7 minutes

Enjoy a delicate, smooth, honey finish. The leaves are long, light and dark colors as the white tea is pu’erh aged.

Moonlight White Tea grows in Yunnan Province China and it’s available at Davids Tea.
