Taiwan Honey Black Tea
Natural Honey Aroma, Sweet and Fragrant
🌿 Origin
Honey Black Tea is produced in various tea regions across Taiwan and the tea-growing areas are at elevations of approximately 200 to 800 meters, with a warm, humid climate ideal for tea cultivation and the proliferation of the small green leafhopper. Honey Black Tea has become one of Taiwan's most beloved specialty black teas in recent years.
🦗 The Secret of Honey Aroma – The Small Green Leafhopper
Honey Black Tea shares a common characteristic with Oriental Beauty Tea—both are made from tea leaves that have been bitten by the small green leafhopper (Jacobiasca formosana). When the leafhopper bites the tea leaves, the plant activates a natural defense mechanism, triggering abnormal metabolism that produces a unique honey aroma and floral-fruity fragrance. To attract these leafhoppers, tea farmers practice natural farming methods without using pesticides, resulting in healthier, safer tea leaves.

✨ Enjoy Anytime, Hot or Cold
Honey Black Tea is suitable for enjoyment throughout the year, particularly as a cold-brewed tea in the hot summer months. When cold-brewed, its fragrance becomes even more pronounced, and its taste is sweeter, cleaner, and more refreshing—a perfect summer treat worth trying. When brewed hot, it fully reveals its rich layers of honey and fruity aromas, warming the soul.
