A representative of Taiwanese bug-bitten teas, this black tea is made in seaside Hualien and is loved for its alluring honey aroma.

Why we love it:

  • It's a bug-bitten tea: when tiny leafhoppers start nibbling on the leaves in the field, the tea plant releases chemicals to defend itself - which to humans smell like honey. Farmers allow for a certain amount of damage to give the resulting tea a natural honey aroma.
  • It is freshly roasted, which adds a toasted quality to the honey flavour—perfect for pairing with desserts.


 What is bug-bitten tea?

100ml Gaiwan
4g | 95°C | 1 min | 4 infusions

300ml Teapot
8g | 90°C | 3 mins | 2 infusions

Cold brew
15g | 1L | Refrigerated | 10-15 hrs

These are just guidelines. We recommend experimenting with a range of temperatures and leaf-to-water ratios to understand the tea and your own taste preferences.
