Dung Ding Gue Fei Oolong

This tea comes from the city of Luku, the center of Dung Ding tea. Its exclusivity lies in the fact that the leaves are still on the bushes gnawed by small green cicadas Empoasca onukii, just like the leaves of the famous Oriental Beauty (Bai Hao) oolong tea.

The plants react to this particular type of insect by releasing specific enzymes and sending sugars to the leaves to regenerate. The oxidation of the bitten leaves occurs still on the bushes, which gives the tea a unique character.
