After brewing, the clean honey tea color will yield a robust flavor that fill the mouth and leaves a complex lingering aftertaste.

The Chaozhou people, from whom this tea comes, are famous for their rich diet and frequently pair this tea with meals to improve digestion. They will always use about 8 grams or more of tea per serving, but will only brew each infusion for about 1 minute.
