Denne teen er laget i Nord-Taiwan og er tvunnet (i motsetning til den kuleformede stilen). Den høstes rundt juni, som er senere enn andre oolong-teer. Dyrkerne lar en bladhopper (Jacobiasca formosana) angripe tebladene. Plantene frigjør en forbindelse i selvforsvar som vi synes smaker deilig lik fersken. Mike så plantene i forsvarsposisjon på en tur til Taiwan; han syntes det var fascinerende å observere denne bemerkelsesverdige botaniske prosessen.
