When the tiny green leafhopper bites the tea tree, the tea tree will activate its own defense mechanism and emit a strong fragrance of flowers or honey, attracting its natural enemy, the white-spotted killer spider, to come to feed on it. Although the production of the tea tree is reduced by the sharp shooter, the special flavor of the tea broth made from tea leaves "salivated" by the sharp shooter is different from that of ordinary Oolong tea, which makes it favored by the market. In recent years, in order to produce tea products with special honey flavor, such as Oriental Beauty tea, honey-scented Guifei tea, honey-scented black tea, etc., tea farmers try to maintain an environment suitable for the growth of the sharp shooter, and try not to use pesticides or control agents, so as to let the sharp shooter become a beneficial partner of the tea tree. In this way, reducing the use of pesticides not only helps the promotion of tea, but also maintains biodiversity and achieves the value of sustainable utilization of agricultural land. As a result, special tea products such as Oriental Beauty Tea also enjoy a good reputation in the market and enhance market competitiveness.
