''Jacobiasca formosana'' is a type of cicada that attacks mainly tea bushes and also cotton plants. Originally combated, these cicadas are now deliberately used to produce [[Oriental Beauty|Oriental Beauty]] and Guifei oolong. The cicadas suck juices from the tea leaves and as a defence mechanism the tea plant then secretes an attractant to attract the cicada's natural enemy, a spider. This changes the ingredients in the leaves and, if processed correctly, the typical honey scent is created. As a rule, the whole thing only works when grown naturally and without pesticides. | '''Jacobiasca formosana''' is a type of cicada that attacks mainly tea bushes and also cotton plants.
