A pale sparkling amber color derived from the higher levels of oxidation in the withering process makes this hand picked aromatic tea from Taiwan a feast for the eyes. Known as one of the famous leaf hopper teas, it has none of the astringency or bitterness of black tea. With the distinctive taste and aroma of warm honey with a touch of citrus; delicate yet lush, rich but light. Improves with multiple rebrewings.
