BUG BITTEN BLACK 蜒香红茶
Our Bug Bitten Black Tea is a unique and exquisite offering, crafted in the same style as our popular bug bitten oolong, but processed as a black tea to bring out deeper, bolder flavors. Grown in Taiwan’s high elevations, this tea undergoes a fascinating process where the leaves are naturally "bitten" by the aphid-like insects known as the jassid. This special interaction between the insects and the leaves enhances the tea's natural sweetness and complexity, resulting in a cup that is both rich and nuanced.
The black tea processing allows the leaves to develop a bold, malty base with hints of honey and sweet fruit, while the bug-bitten nature imparts an underlying floral sweetness and a soft, smooth finish. The infusion offers an aromatic, full-bodied experience, with a lingering aftertaste that highlights the unique blend of floral and fruity notes.
The complexity of our Bug Bitten Black Tea makes it perfect for those seeking a more robust black tea with a touch of natural sweetness. The craftsmanship behind its production and the careful hand-harvesting ensure that each cup is a special treat—ideal for tea enthusiasts looking for something truly distinctive and different.
