Taiwanese Indigenous Black Tea – 150g (Summer 2025 Harvest)

This black tea is made from a rare indigenous tea cultivar native to Taiwan. The young buds often exhibit a subtle purple hue, which is why it is nicknamed "Purple Bud Tea." The brewed liquor reveals a beautiful amber color with a naturally fruity aroma. When freshly made, the tea’s flavor is bold and intense; after aging for six months, the taste mellows into a rich, smooth cup. In recent years, it has become one of Taiwan’s most sought-after black teas.

2025 Taiwanese Indigenous Black Tea

We carefully selected leaves harvested in July, which we believe is the most balanced and consistent period for quality. Teas from this season offer a concentrated aroma and layered flavor—full-bodied and slightly astringent, yet never bitter. The overall taste is smooth, structured, and harmonious.

Each batch is meticulously handpicked following the “one bud, two leaves” standard. The tender leaves provide a rich, full flavor. After harvesting, we manually remove stems, broken pieces, and any imperfect leaves to ensure the cleanest and most refined final product.

Try this special indigenous black tea, which we spent three months selecting from dozens of batches! It’s rich, fragrant, and full of character. Shipped directly from Taiwan, enjoy free shipping to major cities worldwide on orders over $120 USD.
