Beipu Black Tea

This tea is the unknown twin of the famous Oriental Beauty – they are coming from the same bushes though instead of oolong process, Beipu is a typical black tea, strong in flavors and aromas.
On the bushes we can find the famous leafhoppers – the special aroma of the tea is due to saliva of these little fellows. As the plant is trying to protect itself against the insects, they are producing more polyphenols and tannins which combined with the enzymes of the leafhopper’s saliva are resulting a faster fermentation hence a special, sweet aftertaste of the tea soup which reminds to pumpkin, cocoa and honey.
This tea is also coming from Mr. Chen’s organic farm.
