This tea is magical! A rare visit from the tea jassids has transformed our winter harvest into something extraordinary. Enjoy this green oolong’s unusual honey-scented aroma, you’ll love it ;)
🦗 When the tea plants were attacked, they threw up a line of defense by producing a compound to repel the jassids. This compound is precisely what gives the tea it's unique honeyed aroma and flavor!
✌️It's important to note that the leaves are hand harvested-- it's a very slow process as they only collect leaves that have been bitten by the jassids. As you might expect, yield is tremendously lower than a regular harvest and much more labor intensive. We are so thankful we were able to snatch this small batch to enjoy!
🌱 Tea jassids only come to organic gardens, because yuck who wants to eat chemicals!
🕰️ We can't predict when the jassids will arrive, only that so far we've seen them make their way high up into the mountains every 2-3 years.
✨Taiwan is also home to a few other varieties of bug bitten teas that tend to be grown at lower elevations. The most famous of which is the delicious eastern beauty tea (東方美人).
