Honey Black Tea
Raisin | Wild Honey | Malt
Grown in Taichung, Taiwan, this Honey Black Tea is hand-harvested and fully oxidized. Its distinct sweetness comes from the natural activity of leafhoppers, which nibble the leaves and trigger a transformation that enhances aroma and flavour, creating its signature honeyed character.
This tea brews into a vibrant ruby-red liquor with golden highlights and a silky texture. Rich notes of wild honey, raisin, and malt are balanced by a hint of cinnamon and a soft floral undertone, finishing smooth and comforting.
Bold, smooth, and naturally sweet, Honey Black Tea is a full-bodied cup with warm, lingering complexity. A beautiful example of leafhopper-bitten craftsmanship, perfect for those seeking richness with a gentle, aromatic finish.
