BUG BITTEN OOLONG 蜒香乌龙

$45.00

A Taiwanese treasure crafted through a unique collaboration between nature and craftsmanship. The tea leaves are bitten by tiny alphine bugs, which triggers a natural oxidation process in the plant, enhancing the tea’s sweetness and aroma.

This meticulous process yields a rich and golden liquor with a distinctive honeyed flavor, complemented by subtle fruity and spiced undertones. Each sip tells the story of harmony between the environment and tradition, offering a cup that’s both complex and irresistibly smooth—a true testament to the art of tea-making.

REGION:
MEISHAN, TAIWAN

Meishan, situated in Taiwan’s Chiayi County, is a picturesque tea-growing region celebrated for its high mountain oolong teas. With elevations ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 meters, Meishan’s cool temperatures and frequent mist create an ideal environment for tea cultivation. The slower growth of tea leaves at these altitudes allows for a more concentrated flavor and a delicate balance of floral and creamy notes.

The region's fertile, well-drained soils and abundant rainfall further enhance the quality of the teas produced here. Meishan’s oolongs are known for their elegant aroma, smooth body, and lingering sweetness, offering a refined tea experience. Combining traditional handcrafting techniques with the region’s unique terroir, Meishan has become a sought-after destination for tea connoisseurs seeking the finest expressions of Taiwan’s high mountain oolongs.
