Bug-bitten Huangdacha 虫咬黄大茶 - Yellow Tea

The defense mechanisms that the tea plant develops against the bite of little bugs, scientifically identified as Empoasca Matsumurasca onukii, give this yellow tea an amazing sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste, that perfectly mingle to give life to a unique and rare gem.This yellow tea falls under the Huángdàchá 黄大茶 category, and it is made with the first bud and the larger mature leaves of the tea plant, reaching even the fourth or fifth leaf. A more mature harvest would normally give a stronger taste, but the almost invisible bug-bites on the leaves increase their sweetness and fragrance, and the result is a surprisingly sugary and mellow tea, with roasted notes of chestnut, and a delicate floral hint of chamomile.Origin: Zhangbei, Heyuan, Guangdong provinceFlush: April 2025, Spring tea 春茶 Format: 25 gr.
