The tea leaf went through “high-heat” May to “autumn white dew 白露” September during the prosperous breeding season of Little Green Leaf hopper/tiny cicadas. Tiny cicadas whose beneficial bites nip the astringency and release the unique honeyed aroma of these teas. Lovely roasted notes on the edges, with a woody, but sweet and mellow fruit flavor.

The confluence of conditions required to create this specialized release of perfume from these leaves are rare and circumstantial. In these challenging weather times, Autumn Honey Dew is limited in availability.
