From The Silk Tea Co.

This prized, almost black oolong is one of nature’s most fascinating love stories. Cultivated at a high elevation (1200 meters above sea level) on an all-natural tea estate with no chemicals in Taiwan’s freshest air, this tea is love-bitten by leaf hoppers. Leaf hoppers are a blessing on the local tea farms. They sweeten young tea leaves when they munch on the plant sap. This batch is hand-harvested and carefully oxidized. It unfurls soft, honeyed floral notes. Steep 1 teaspoon (3 grams) in 6 oz (180 ml) of water at 200°F / 95°C for 1 minute, re-steep 3-5+ times, a bit longer each time to fully enjoy the sweet osmanthus, honey, and caramel notes.

This smooth, dark tea is so aptly named because one of the first tasting notes to really spring to the forefront is a rich, heavy buckwheat honey flavour that envelops the whole palate. Overall this tea is medium to full bodied, with an overarching minerality and a bit of both a floral and burnt sugar-like edge to each sip. The leaf hoppers really blessed this tea with that perfect natural sweetness!
