Description
Bug bitten tea may seem like an odd thing but these bites are by small cricket and grasshoppers these insects are small enough they do not eat through the leaves. These small insects cause the tea plant to defend itself by increasing and decreasing certain chemicals. The resulting tea has a slight honey like aroma and flavour.
Bug bitten tea from Taiwan is most popular in a famous tea called oriental beauty – True oriental beauty that has been bitten by bugs is significantly more expensive therefore this tea is a good entry point into bug bitten tea.
You can’t have bugs and pesticides so this tea is ‘organic’.
