Description 

2009 Gui Fei Cha Gui Fei Cha ("concubine tea") is an uncommon oolong from Taiwan. It's produced by a unique method: it’s briefly attacked by insects, tea green leaf hoppers. The plant's natural defense to the 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. Taiwan

PREPARATION: Gui Fei Cha may be prepared in either an yi xing pot or a gaiwan. Place 3-5 grams of leaf in the prewarmed vessel and quickly flush with hot water. Be sure to appreciate the rich aroma of the damp leaves, then cover with 90-95°C (194-205°F) water and steep 2-3 minutes. Lower water temperature yields more floral notes, while hotter water offers more intensity.
