Rare Bug-Bitten Teas (Mi Xiang)

Known as "Mi Xiang" tea in Chinese, this unique Taiwanese tea delivers an incredible honey-like flavor—naturally, with no added sweeteners! Mi Xiang teas make an excellent dessert option and are perfect for those with a sweet tooth looking for a healthy alternative to flavored or sweetened drinks.

Why Are Mi Xiang Teas So Sweet?
When tea plants are attacked by insects, they release a fragrant compound as a defense mechanism—a compound they wouldn’t normally produce. While this scent repels insects, it creates a natural honey-like sweetness that we humans love!

Another bonus: Mi Xiang teas are naturally organic since farmers rely on this bug-plant interaction to develop their unique flavor. And don’t worry—the sweetness comes from the tea plants themselves, not the insects, and there are no bugs in your tea!
