	''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 Oolong]]. The cicadas suck juices from the tea leaves and ~~leave bite marks which oxidize. This leads~~ to the ~~well-known muscatel notes of Oriental Beauty Oolong~~. This ~~is similar to~~ the ~~[[Darjeeling]] second flush with~~ the ~~thrips infestation~~. ~~Both cases require pesticide free cultivation~~.		''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 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.
