Honey Fragrance Black Tea
**The fresh 2023 pick is in stock and this spring was a great one for the bugs, and the tea plants. The 2023 spring vintage is full of the sweet malty flavors this tea is so famous for!**
This beautiful, delicate tea has been bitten by the green leaf hopper early enough in its growth cycle to create the sensual sweet honey notes that the name implies. These teas need to be grown in an organic environment to allow the bugs freedom to bite the young tea buds to produce this classic tea. The east coast of Taiwan consistently produces the best-of-the-best Honey Fragrance Black Tea and our partner farm is famous for its consistent wins in the annual tea competitions.
**Like all our teas, there are no added flavors, colors or chemicals in this tea. All flavors are completely natural and additive-free!**
