Summer Solstice
Oriental Beauty is a summer-only tea by nature. The honey aroma comes from leafhopper bite — and this is its season.
重點：消暑、生津、保護心氣。

What the gardens are doing now
Summer leaf. Long days and heat build catechins, so summer tea is noticeably astringent. That comes from the season rather than from the workmanship. Most of it goes into black tea or into the drinks trade.
