Bug-bitten Huangdacha 虫咬黄大茶 - Yellow Tea

Lovely yellow tea

This yellow tea has some nice layering due to the bugs that have bitten it. To me this is a superb yellow tea with a beautiful fruity sweetness on top of its typical ‘yellow’ aroma. I highly recommend it.

Bug bitten & delicious

I was intially skeptical about the "bug bitten" aspect of this tea, but oh i was proven wrong!! Its brews a wonderful sweet delicate yellow tea, that is absoulty delicious.

Smitten by bug bitten

I thought EL was playing a joke; in fact when the tea plant is bitten by crickets the leaves emit a certain enzyme that tastes bad to the bugs but good to humans. In the hot weather I have been enjoying it chilled.
