809 Honey Gold Tea Bud

809 Honey Gold Tea Bud

This is rarity itself. Handpicked from young tea leaves nibbled by green leafhoppers before the Manzhong solar term, this extraordinary tea represents the pinnacle of Taiwan tea craftsmanship. It takes more than 6 kilograms of tender leaves to produce just a single ounce of these precious golden tea buds—making this one of the rarest and most sought-after teas we offer.

What makes this tea truly exceptional is its beautiful duality: the crisp honeyed sweetness of Oriental Beauty combined with the mellow richness of Dong Ding. Through exclusive roasting techniques, these two legendary characteristics merge into a tea of layered depth, smooth balance, and unforgettable complexity.

The Leafhopper Connection

Before the Manzhong solar term (around early June), small green leafhoppers feed on young tea leaves. This natural interaction triggers the plant to produce unique chemical compounds as a defense response, creating the distinctive nectar aroma and honeyed sweetness that defines this tea.

Only the most tender, leafhopper-nibbled buds are selected—and it takes extraordinary quantities of raw material to produce even a small amount of finished tea. This is why Honey Gold Tea Bud is so precious and rare.

小綠葉蟬的連結

在芒種節氣之前(約六月初),小綠葉蟬以幼嫩茶葉為食。這種自然互動觸發植物產生獨特的化學化合物作為防禦反應,創造出定義這款茶的獨特花蜜香氣和蜜香甜味。

僅選擇最嫩、被小綠葉蟬叮咬的茶芽—需要非常大量的原料才能生產少量的成品茶。這就是為什麼蜜金茶芽如此珍貴和稀有。
