This tea is organically grown!

Large curled and twisted leaves with deep black tones giving gentle honey and a baked sweet fragrance. full and rounded aroma with malty sweet and honey notes. The tea soup is a rich red hue with a high clarity and excellent quality. The drinking experience has a soft, smooth mouthfeel, a rich tone and fruitiness, balanced sweetness, building flavour and touches of pleasant astringency with long lasting honey notes. 

The young leaves of these tea bushes benefit from being bitten by the Greenleaf Hopper bug, this results in the leaves developing the unique and highly prized sweet honey notes This is only possible through natural organic cultivation.

Hand picked harvesting two leaves and a bud in Spring at an elevation of 650m, the leaves have then undergone processing following traditional techniques by the Yen family.

During our R&D trip to Taiwan (April’25) we visited the Sun Moon Lake area to explore the most beautiful organic tea gardens of Tea master Yen & family, we were shown 3 in total, full of a clean, rich & diverse environment of flora and fauna for the tea plants to thrive in, with even tea trees of 100 years age. Their dedication and enthusiasm for organic principles and cultivation is apparent in the the high quality of their teas and is a true inspiration. Their wish is to bring out everything that is within the leaves, every nuance, every variety with a offering rich in specialities.
