Insect feces tea: the bulbous feces of caterpillars The wonders of Pu'er tea in Yunnan, China

Tea China October 20 news It is possible that you do not know that there is a special Pu'er tea in Yunnan, and the raw material of this tea is the insect droppings discharged by the insects that eat tea. So it is also called worm tea or worm tea.

Insect feces tea is also divided into different insect species and tea varieties, the most common of which is the insect tea made of the worm droppings of the night moth.

The feces are small ball-shaped, and spherical feces are also unique to the caterpillar digestive system – the caterpillars wrap their feces in a thin chitin shell, a process a bit like making a spring roll.

The price of poop balls made of tea worm poop varies greatly - ranging from $250 to $1,000 per pound, if someone asks you to drink, don't ask more, drink it, know that this tea is not cheap.

The reason why people are willing to spend high prices to buy insect tea is to value the health ingredients in it. Analyzing the chemical composition of insect tea, it was found that it contained a large number of antioxidants and a variety of amino acids. But can drinking this tea make you healthier? Maybe it's not like other teas, but it's really fun.

In fact, our coffee and chocolate have a small part of the insect ingredient in it. And with the exception of Europe and North America, most parts of the world eat insects regularly. So insect food is not so terrible, and don't worry about the insect ingredients in food.

Regarding the taste of this tea, I consulted several friends who have drunk this tea, according to them, they described the taste of tea as similar to Indian la tea. (Wu Ce Author: Xiao Gao)
