HSU Yao-Liang Oriental Beauty Tea | 2024 Winter | Bai Lu Six-Star

The Six-Star grade showcases the exquisite "Lychee Floral Honey Aroma," a representation of the mid-to-high level of tea leaf interaction with the small green leafhopper.

Harvested during the peak of the season when leafhopper activity is abundant, the leaves are delicately curled and small in size. This tea is crafted from the tea variety "Taiwan Tea No. 17 / Bai Lu," promoted by Taiwan's Tea Research and Extension Station. The meticulous craftsmanship highlights the unique floral aroma of the variety. The honeyed aroma, with lychee honey as the base note, exudes an elegant sweetness, complemented by a subtle osmanthus fragrance in the aftertaste.

This tea is ideal for those with a foundational understanding of Oriental Beauty Tea and are seeking the refined floral honey aroma.
