  • Craftsman Tea Leafhopper Bitten Oolong (Bai Hao Oolong) – rare Taiwanese oolong with unique honeyed sweetness, delicate floral notes, and rich flavor.

    Leafhopper Bitten Oolong (白毫乌龙 – Bai Hao Oolong) – Unique Oolong with Wild Character

    $5.90 – $44.00

    Leafhopper Bitten Oolong is a hand-crafted Taiwanese competition tea known for its deep amber color and muscatel-sweet taste. Made from the bud and first two leaves, it offers a floral-fruity aroma with notes of honey and apricot.

    This unique Bai Hao Oolong is created when green leafhoppers, which thrive in warm, pollution-free environments, bite the tea leaves, releasing terpenes that create a honey-like flavor. Grown at 300-800 meters altitude, this tea yields only 40% of its potential due to the intense summer heat, making it a prized, sought-after tea.

    The leaves are sun-dried longer to intensify their sweet, woody flavor and undergo 80% oxidation, creating a beautiful array of colors.
