It was harvested in late April after this crop was bitten by aphids. As a result, the crop has the sweetest honey aroma we've ever tasted. Each leaf is hand-picked in the morning before a two day period of wilting, rolling and enzymatic oxidation that produced the beautiful red orange liquor of this tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional Assams from India are rich, deep, and often times astringent. Milk tea often uses these bold flavors as a base, but Taiwan's terroir removes this astringent edge. The resulting tea is rich and complex, with notes of fruit and honey, but without the bite one would expect from an Indian Assam. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 284px;border-collapse: collapse; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctbody style=\"padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 50px;padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/brewing-guide\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1563\/7149\/t\/15\/assets\/Brew_Icon_Leaf.png?v=1646003702\" alt=\"tea\" style=\"width: 40px;height: 40px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 28px;padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 50px;padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/brewing-guide\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1563\/7149\/t\/15\/assets\/Brew_Icon_Water.png?v=1646003742\" alt=\"water\" style=\"width: 40px;height: 40px;float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 28px;padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 56px;padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/brewing-guide\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1563\/7149\/t\/15\/assets\/Brew_Icon_Temp.png?v=1646003721\" alt=\"temp\" style=\"width: 40px;height: 40px;float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 28px;padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 50px;padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/brewing-guide\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1563\/7149\/t\/15\/assets\/Brew_Icon_Time.png?v=1646003730\" alt=\"time\" style=\"width: 40px;height: 40px;float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 50px;padding: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 28px;padding: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 50px;padding: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1oz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 28px;padding: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eat\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 56px;padding: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e180°F\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 28px;padding: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003efor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"width: 50px;padding: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2m\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n        \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our favorite way to brew most black teas, since the moderate water temperature and brew time increase sweetness and texture while limiting astringency.
