Last Updated: 2026/05/17, Honey-scented black tea is another good example of tea bitten by insects. This honey-scented black tea is planted on the low-altitude plains of eastern Taiwan, which is hot and humid, making it an ideal place to attract green leafhoppers. The tea gardens here do not use pesticides at all to further welcome these small insects. They open from the beginning of summer to the middle of summer.

Honey-scented black tea is another good example of tea bitten by insects. This honey-scented black tea is planted on the low-altitude plains of eastern Taiwan, which is hot and humid, making it an ideal place to attract green leafhoppers. The tea gardens here do not use pesticides at all to further welcome these small insects. Early summer to midsummer is the time when they begin to arrive, and they eat by sucking up phloem juice from plants.

In tea plants, this triggers a self-defense mechanism that triggers the production of plant antitoxins, especially terpenes and trienols. Terpenoids have dual functions, they can not only dispel insects, but also attract natural enemies. For example, honey, grapes, roses and Darjeeling musk grapes also contain trienol, which is thought to be the cause of the coveted musk grape aroma. The picking and processing of honey-fragrant black tea is similar to Oriental Beauty Oolong tea, except that it goes through a slight rolling and non-green stage, thus promoting and allowing full oxidation, respectively, so that it becomes black tea. Unlike most black teas, we recommend brewing this tea at a lower temperature and using a longer soaking time, as it helps to highlight musk, sweet and sour, grape-like musk. The meaning of the name "honey fragrance" becomes very obvious in the aftertaste of this tea. It is delightfully sweet and very long-lasting.
