Golden Bud Honey Scent Black Tea

Discover the quiet depth of our Honey Scent Black Tea, crafted in the cool, mist-covered hills of Shanlin Xi, Taiwan. This black tea is made using the Qing Xin Oolong cultivar, known for its gentle character and layered aroma. What makes it unique is the naturally developed honey fragrance—not from added flavoring, but from the work of leafhoppers, whose bites start a subtle fermentation in the leaf while it’s still on the plant.
Grown at about 1,200 meters elevation, these tea trees thrive in slow-growing, high-mountain conditions. The result is a tea that’s clean and sweet, with floral notes, hints of wild honey, soft fruit, and a touch of malt. The liquor brews to a warm amber and finishes smooth, leaving a lasting sweetness on the palate.
