Honey Black Formosa Black Loose Leaf Tea

Description: The Honey Black Tea Experience: Luxurious This ultra-smooth classic black tea from Taiwan offers an exceptional flavor of floral and malty notes with a hint of honeyed sweetness. Osmanthus notes come forward. This complex flavor is created naturally, with no honey or honey flavor added. There is a delicate earthy quality to this fully-oxidized black tea and it just may remind you of an oolong. It mellows further as it cools and we suggest a second steeping. Tasting Notes: malty, floral, velvety smooth The dry leaf is narrow, dark, and superbly twisted, some with copper-colored tips. The infusion produces a rich, shining dark amber cup. There is a hint of dark chocolate in the aroma of the dry leaf, then when steeped aroma becomes more malty and earthy. This exceptional tea hails from the Hualien district on the eastern coast of Taiwan. The tea is produced in the summertime when the young tea leaves are bitten at by small indigenous grasshoppers. This action curls the leaf tips and stops their growth. During this, the grasshoppers' saliva initiates a reaction with the plant the creates a slightly honey-like flavor. Ingredients: Luxurious and rare black tea from the east coast of Taiwan Savoring Your Experience: This special tea would be a perfect first cup in the morning or pick-me-up in the afternoon. This tea will appeal to many palates. At first, brew with suggested water temperature and steeping time, then experiment and see how you best enjoy this superior black tea. Fun Facts: Hualien, in the East Rift Valley, is the last so-called untouched land in Taiwan. Settlers to Taiwan from China brought a complex tea culture, which has been layered upon by the Japanese and further developed by the west, including Portuguese explorers who called the island Formosa. The tea plantations there help to create Taiwan’s intricate, social tea culture.
