Denne te er lavet i det nordlige Taiwan og er tvundet (i modsætning til den kugleformede stil). Den høstes omkring juni, hvilket er senere end andre oolong-teer. Dyrkerne lader en bladhopper (Jacobiasca formosana) angribe tebladene. Planterne frigiver en forbindelse i selvforsvar, som vi finder dejligt ligesom smagen af ferskner. Mike så planterne i defensiven på en tur til Taiwan; han fandt det fascinerende at observere denne bemærkelsesværdige botaniske proces.
