Bug-bitten Red Oolong

The tea leaves of our Red Oolong are “bug-bitten” – a technique common in Taiwanese oolong production. When bugs attack the tea leaves, the plant’s natural defense mechanism releases enzymes that alter the original taste. Furthermore, the plant sends sugars to the bitten areas for fast recovery, creating a remarkable sweetness in the final product. Consequently, the tea has the pleasant taste of a medium roasted oolong with bright honey and ripe fruit notes. Not to mention, its satisfying sweetness will no doubt have you craving for more.
