The Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea Experience: classic Taiwanese oolong

Complex yet smooth, this exquisite oolong is a classic Taiwanese tea, and a must-try for anyone interested in exploring oolong.

Tasting Notes: remarkable, tender, sweet

Rich, complex Oriental Beauty Oolong offers a distinctive muscatel grape flavor and aroma. Its aroma and aftertaste are every bit as appealing as the flavor itself, so be sure to pay equal attention to them as you enjoy your tea.

Ingredients: Taiwanese Formosa oolong tea.

Savoring Your Experience:

Oriental Beauty's leaves are, well, beautiful! Their long, twisted forms range from white "tips" (immature leaves) to large, dark green leaves. They brew into a silky-smooth drink that slides around the palate like honey.

Our Oriental Beauty oolong is naturally sweet on its own. Honey notes dominate in its aroma and taste, and a fruity sweetness lingers in the finish.

Fun Facts:

Like Darjeeling Second Flush Black Tea, its leaves were irresistible to a certain kind of insect. When conditions are favorable, the insects arrive in summertime and nibble on the leaves, causing them to oxidize before they were harvested. This oxidation helps the leaves develop uniquely sweet, fruity flavors that many tea connoisseurs adore.

Always brew Oriental Beauty tea with fresh water, just shy of boiling. This nuanced tea evolves over multiple steepings, so be sure to brew it multiple times in one session.
