Detailed Description
This outstanding tea is produced in northern Taiwan in a small village near Pingling, close to Wen Shan. The tea leaves are bitten by a cicada, a non-harmful insect, which results in a high degree of sweetness in the oxidation process. The harvest time is from the beginning to the middle of July due to the cicadas. No insecticides are used on these uniformly styled jet black, tightly woven leaves. The brew yields a copper colored cup with a smooth, full-bodied hint of honey taste which is complemented by a slightly malty caramel-like body. Amazing!

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.
