Honey Black Tea (Ball-Shaped)
Natural Honey Aroma, Ball-Shaped Treasure
🌿 Origin
Honey Black Tea is produced in tea regions across Taiwan, including Ruisui (Hualien), Luye (Taitung), and Yuchi (Nantou), at elevations of approximately 200 to 800 meters. The tea-growing areas have a warm, humid climate ideal for tea cultivation and the proliferation of the small green leafhopper. This product features a ball-shaped rolling process, different from traditional strip-shaped black tea, making the tea leaves easier to store and brew.
🦗 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.

Suitable for sensitive stomachs: Undergoes full fermentation, reducing polyphenol content and minimizing stomach irritation

🧘 A Moment to Savor
Honey Black Tea is suitable for enjoyment throughout the year, particularly as a cold-brewed tea in the hot summer months.
