Story Text

En Taiwán, un té raro y especial llamado mixiang, o té de miel, se está volviendo popular en todo el mundo. Su sabor único natural a miel proviene de un diminuto insecto conocido como jassid del té. Este insecto muerde las hojas de té, lo que provoca que la planta libere una sustancia dulce como defensa. Esta reacción crea el sabor especial del té. Después de la cosecha, las hojas se oxidan y tuestan para hacer diferentes tipos, como Belleza Oriental y Oolong Concubina. Aunque este té es algo raro para algunas personas por su forma de producirse, su popularidad está creciendo. Ahora se utiliza para hacer tés espumosos de alta gama y se sirve en uno de los restaurantes más finos del mundo. No es fácil hacer té de miel. Los agricultores no pueden controlar a los insectos, y producir un buen té requiere gran habilidad. En el pasado, los insectos eran vistos como dañinos. Pero después de un terremoto en 1999, los agricultores descubrieron el sabor especial del té. Hoy, el té de miel es un producto de lujo real, conocido por su rico aroma y sabor único.
