Preferred Tung Ting Gui Fei tea - Honey flavor oolong tea

Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea is also known as bug bitten tea (bitten by the Jacobiasca formosana), White Tip Oolong tea or Five Color tea, etc., so when the tea leaves bit by the Jacobiasca formosana, the bitten section within leaves ferment and later to develop the unique honey scents. The level of honey scent determines the grade of the tea variety. The new buds, which have eaten by the tea jassid, curl up, become yellow and stop growing. They contain rich special protein substances secreted by the tea jassid. The new buds, which have been eaten by the tea jassid, curl up, become yellow and stop growing. They contain rich special protein substances secreted by the tea jassid. Also, the enhanced activity of the "tea polyphenols" and the increased amount of the "tea tannin" within the tea leaves are caused by the self-curable capacity of the tea tree itself, that makes this tea variety carry its unique flavor for tastes. There are several conditions for harvesting the new sprouts with tea jassid bites, such as

First: No pesticide spraying

Second, Cultivate it naturally and with luck. The tea jassid does not nibble the tea plantation all.

Third, because the leaves are bitten by the tea jassid, the tea leaves would curl up and stop growing that makes it difficult to pick up and the cost of tea leaves picked per 1 kg is raising accordingly.

 The tea made from the young leaves injured with bug bites is prone to generate astringent taste.

貴妃茶，又名涎仔茶、蜜香茶亦有蜜香烏龍之稱；從製法來看，其實「凍頂貴妃茶」相當接近「東方美人茶」，共同之處都是經由小綠葉茶蟲咬過，帶有蜜香，因為有蟲咬才能有其蜜香之特色。等級也是依據蜜香而定.被小綠葉蟬蛀過的新芽，芽葉捲曲，變黃停止生長，富含小綠葉蟬分泌的特殊蛋白物質，也因植物本身的治癒能力會致使葉片的「茶多元酚類」的活性增強和「茶單寧」的含量增加，也是此茶風味特殊的原因。要收成此種小綠葉蟬蛀過新芽，有幾個條件：

1. 第一：不可噴灑農藥
2. 第二：可遇不可求，小綠葉蟬並不會雨露均霑的咬食每一分的茶園
3. 第三：因為經由小綠葉茶蟲咬過，芽葉捲曲，停止生長，所以採摘不易，每斤採摘的成本都需提高。

這種受傷加上嫩葉採摘的茶葉容易有澀味產生。所以建議沖泡時、可降低水溫或減少置茶量或用開放式沖泡、或泡淡一點，都可以減低這種澀味的產生。
