The most important feature of Honey Black Tea is its honey-sweet flavour, with a very soft and attractive natural "honey aroma", which some people say is the smell of flies, salivation, and the earliest "misinterpretation" into the mouth of worms, and this honey aroma has made a lot of tea drinkers confused, which has made Honey Black Tea the tea that everyone loves to get rid of in the market.

The Story of Honey Scent

In fact, honey flavoured black tea has been eaten and sucked by pests, doesn't it sound unbelievable? Most crops are affected by pests and diseases, fruits look ugly when infested with pests, coffee beans will easily go mouldy when infested with pests, and most of the production value and selling price will drop due to pests. Rarely, like tea leaves, can they be turned into honey-scented black tea, Oriental Beauty, honey-scented oolongs, which can enhance the flavour and increase the added value.

The small green leafhopper-like cicada is also known as the floating duster outside.Empoasca onukii Matsuda

Like the Oriental Beauty tea, the tea leaves bitten by the small green leafhopper will emit a special honey-fruit aroma, which is also the most characteristic of honey-flavoured black tea. In recent years, as the price of Oriental Beauty Tea has broken through the sky and continues to inflate, the price of Honey Flavoured Black Tea as a substitute has also gradually risen.

There's one.False LegendsIt is said that the infestation of the little green cicada is "salivation", trying to show that after the tea tree has been bitten, the saliva left on the leaves on the tea buds will be transformed into the honey flavour, and it is said that the more salivation, the heavier the aroma will be, which is not entirely correct. In fact, the little green cicada doesn't have much saliva.

in the light ofThe Secret of Ng Shing Shun's Honey-Scented TeaSaid, the honey aroma changes, to some extent it can be said that the oral secretions of the small green leafhopper, triggering the tea tree shoots to generate this honey aroma, the tea tree itself to resist the special biological mechanism. To Wenke friends can be easily understood as, if you are bitten by mosquitoes, mosquitoes bite your flesh after the oral secretions, so that your flesh on the swelling of a big bag.

Please note that the small green leafhopper is not the only one that sucks the tea leaves in the tea plantation, there are also tsubaki, thistle, spiders... Not every pest will end up with a honey-scented result.

What is the special flavour of honey tea?

Why does Honey Flavoured Black Tea have a honey flavour? It has been scientifically proved that only the tea leaves and the tea leaves after being fed by the 'little green leafhopper' can produce a natural honey-like flavour after reaction, and occasionally there is a honey-like flavour.rock candyThe honey flavour of the tea is not an artificial additive, but is caused by a series of chemical reactions between the small green leafhopper and the honey. Therefore, the honey flavour in honey-scented tea is not an artificial additive, but relies on the sucking of the small green leafhopper, which is caused by a series of chemical reactions.

The small green leafhopper has a big role in it. This problem has disturbed scientists for a long time, after experiments, it was found that after the honey-scented black tea was sucked by the little green leafhopper, the tea buds continued to grow through abnormal metabolism, and produced chemical effects to generate this special chemical ingredient with honey-scented, that is, the outside said that so-and-so phenol, OO hydrocarbons, XX esters. The tea tree emits these sweet odours, and this special ingredient '2,6-dimethyl-3,7-octadiene-2,6-diol' attracts Evarcha albaria, the natural enemy of the small green leafhopper, to drive away the small green leafhopper at a very low concentration.

Most of the grassy compounds come from the oxidation of fatty acids, so I'll probably list them since you're asking:

1. Foliol and cyclohexanal: floral, fruity flavours. (most dominant)
2. Methyl salicylate: sweet fruity aroma (most dominant)
3. Beta violetone: rose, floral aroma (carotenoid)
4. Beta damutenone: sweet, fermented aroma (carotenoid)
5. Cis-Jasmone: Jasmine Fragrance
6. Linalool Oxide: Refreshingly floral (Enzyme Hydrolysed Glycosides)
7. Orange Blossom Tertiary Alcohol: Just Yellow Flower
8. Pest Honey A: 2,6- Dimethyl-3,7-octadiene-2,6-diol
9. Pest Honey Aroma Group B: 3,7-Dimethyl-1,5,7-octatriene-3-ol

Honey flavoured black tea from Tea Gold!

Some time ago, we went crazy about Taiwan's Tea Gold, which is about the development of Taiwan's tea industry in the early Republic of China. If you have watched the film, you should have noticed that Mee Heung Tea looks like the "Searching Tea" mentioned in the film. Instead of "salivating", the word "searching" is more appropriate to describe the raw materials of Mee Heung Tea.

Just like the "Oriental Beauty Tea" in the drama "Tea Gold", the honey flavoured black tea is also a tea made with the right timing, the right location, and the right people. After being bitten by the small green leafhopper, together with the climate, temperature, and humidity of the tea plantation, it is possible to make the honey flavoured black tea that is loved by all. For those who are interested in Oriental Beauty, you may refer to the previous article written by Mr Tuan.Oriental Beauty, Expert Complete Introduction TipsThe

Honey Tea

Taiwan's most recognisable fully fermented black tea is produced in Taitung, Hualien and New Taipei City. Black tea is the most widely consumed tea in the world, and is highly accepted internationally. Honey Black Tea does not need to be flavoured or blended with flowers or fruits, but can be drunk alone with a rich variety of sweetness and aroma. When it comes to the origin of Honey Flavoured Tea, many people will intuitively think of the Honey Flavoured Tea produced in Mahe Village, Ruisui Township, Hualien County, which has become the representative tea of Hualien.

• Rise of non-toxic agriculture, organic farming methods
• There is a high mountain tea version of black tea
• Spring and winter are better than summer

In the 1990s, the Hualien County government began to promote non-toxic agriculture, gradually replacing Taitung's honey-scented black tea, and turning honey-scented black tea into a local speciality tea. Tea gardens in the Maohu area began to switch to non-toxic tea, and due to the pesticide-free planting in the tea gardens, a large number of "small green leafhoppers" appeared, and a series of chemical changes caused the tea to produce a light honey aroma, while removing the bitterness of traditional tea leaves.

Because of the popularity of honey flavoured black tea in the market, many places of origin have followed suit and tried to sell it under the name of honey flavoured black tea:

• Sanshia Honey Red
• Pinglin Honey Red
• Lotus Honey Scented Black Tea
• Taitung Honey Red
• Alishan Honey Red
• Lishan Honey Red
• Peach Garden Honey Red
• Vietnam Honey Red
• Northern Thailand Misery Honey Red

Some of the improved production techniques, or red oolong products mixed with oolong tea, have replaced the original Taitung honey-scented black tea identity as Taitung's local speciality tea. Getting to knowWhat is Red Oolong? The Hwadong region retains the habit of making tea according to the different pest levels and maturity of the tea vegetables, and adjusting the production method to make different products.

Honey Tea Production

The tea soup becomes sweeter and sweeter, while the small green leafhopper itself prefers a humid and hot environment, and mainly produces summer tea to make heavily fermented black tea. Therefore, it is generally believed that the quality of honey flavoured black tea is the highest in the summer, but it also depends on the climate of the place of production, sometimes spring and winter are better than summer tea.
