Only a few batches of this tea are produced each year for export. This is a top Oolong tea with slight honey notes.

The bright amber coloured cup develops a lovely flowery fragrant aroma. The taste ranges from mildly spicy notes with slight sweet soft hints of honey to almost earthy rye bread.  This rich taste is caused by cicadas bits. The insects put small bites to the leaf surface and minute amounts of cell sap evaporates. The moisture starts to oxidise while the leaf is still attached to the plant. The leaves are harvested during May when only a few of the cicadas are present. 

For the harvest, only the youngest leaves and bud are picked. There is little processing thereafter apart from drying the leaves in the sun.

The warm leaves can be infused again for a possible 3-5 times
