Golden Concubine Oolong, in Chinese 黄金贵妃 huangjin guifei, is a kind of “bug-bitten tea.” Like Dongfang Meiren, the leaves of Golden Concubine Oolong are bitten by an insect known as the tea jassid. A chemical reaction in the bitten leaves produces a honey taste. The tea has a fruity aroma, a very pleasant honey and fruit flavour, is smooth with a sweet aftertaste. This tea is grown without any pesticides and is hand-picked in the summer after it has been bitten by the tea jassids.

Hangzhou Qiandao Yuye Tea Co. LTd.I tried the Summer 2020 version of this ‘bug-bitten’ tea. While not heavily roasted, the leaves are a dark brown colour and the brew is rich gold. It has a very nutty, sweet flavour that’s complex and strong without being overwhelming. The texture is smooth and full.
This is one of my favourite oolongs, though some dan cong oolongs provide close competition. It’s certainly my favourite roasted oolong. I originally had it in a sample pack, but ordered a larger quantity afterwards.
Flavors: Honey, Nutty, Round, Smooth, Sweet
