The best batches of Taiwan Beauty tea are harvested in the hellish days of mid summer, at scorching, humid, oven-like temps. The humidity makes one unable to bat an eyelash because that motion alone will induce torrential downpours of sweat. I refuse to go to Taiwan in the summer. Yet, facing the last day of harvest, the best batches all but sold out and the cooler autumn slanted sun bring no cicadas to bite the leaves, I have to settle for what remains.
After tasting through crops from May, June, and as recent as yesterday’s harvest, we settled on a very limited batch from early June- sweet and spicy with classic Taiwan Beauty fragrance. Problem: less than 10#s only.
