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

This black tea is made from a rare indigenous tea cultivar native to Taiwan. Its young buds often show a hint of purple, earning it the nickname "Purple Bud Tea." The brewed liquor reveals a beautiful amber hue with a naturally fruity aroma. When freshly made, the flavor is bold and intense. After being aged for six months, it mellows into a rich, smooth cup. It has become one of Taiwan’s most sought-after black teas in recent years.

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

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

Try this special indigenous black tea 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.
