Mi Xian Honey Black Tea, from Luye, Taitung, Taiwan. The tea variety used has small leaves. The elegant, natural honey-like note is the result of the infestation of tea leaves by a small grasshopper, so the leaf begins to oxidise on the tree. This grasshopper, the Jacobiasca Formosana, is most active during a hot sunny summer / autumn and a pesticide-free environment. Taitung on the east coast of Taiwan provides the perfect condition for such growth. The tea leaves are picked by hand and then carefully processed to oxidize this completely black tea. The tea has an overwhelming honey and caramel character, a deep and round taste with a clean aftertaste, with a fresh tingling fresh (mint) aftertaste in the throat. Also excellent tea for preparing cold brew. Combines great with fruit tarts like peach and banana and chocolate and merengue desserts.
