Summer Harvest · Honey Scented Red Oolong · 100g

https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4234/35893852916_2534d744d1_b_d.jpg When young buds are bitten by the leafhopper (also known as the "tea jassid"), the internal composition of the tea leaves changes, initiating an "in-situ" transformation. This process imparts a unique "honeyed" aroma due to the insect's saliva. During the wilting stage, moisture is intensified, and fermentation is promoted. The tea's fragrance carries the sweet, honeyed notes of black tea alongside the mellow, lingering finish of oolong. With each sip, a rich tapestry of flavors unfolds, alternating between robust and delicate notes. Upon swallowing, a sweet, honeyed aftertaste immediately emerges. Due to its scarce yield and exceptional flavor, it is one of Taiwan's prized specialty teas!
