Back by popular demand, I’m thrilled to officially introduce this Bug Bitten Black Tea from Pinglin to our line-up. Words don’t do it justice—you truly have to experience its aroma to believe it. Harvested once a year in summer, this exceptional tea exudes rich honey and bright fruit notes that are nothing short of enchanting.
Crafted from a blend of three prized oolong cultivars—tieguanyin, jinxuan, and qingxin—only leaves bitten by tea jassids are selected for this unique brew. Due to the limited yield of bug-bitten leaves from a single cultivar, our skilled farmer expertly blends the three, creating a truly unique tea experience.
In order to to fully appreciate its depth of flavor and because the tieguanyin cultivar is included, you need to brew it hot at 212℉ to unlock its flavors and let the leaves unfurl. Prefer a more aromatic cup? Use fewer leaves. Craving a bold, hearty broth? Add more leaves. Incredibly, this black tea can be steeped 6+ times.
