Gui Fei Cha ("concubine tea") is an uncommon oolong from Taiwan. It's produced via a unique method: it's briefly allowed to be attacked by insects. The plant's natural defense to t he invasion changes the flavor of the leaf and unexpectedly yields a distinctive floral, almost honey-like aroma and taste to the tea. You'll notice that Gui Fei Cha is made with a smaller leaf set than most oolongs, and includes tips. GROWING REGION Taiwan: Formally known as Formosa, Taiwan is a renowned producer of oolong teas. The oldest tea plants were found in Shi Sha Lein. Commercial cultivation began there in 1841. Li Shan and Nantou are known for its distinctive style of high mountain oolongs. Show more
