A widely beloved Taiwanese oolong tea celebrated for its natural notes of honey, fruit, and wildflowers.

Many teas carry honey and fruity notes, but Oriental Beauty’s sweetness is unlike any other.
It is the result of ecological harmony and minimal human interference — in summer, the tea leaves are gently bitten by tiny leafhoppers, small insects that thrive only in pesticide-free, biodiverse tea gardens. Their bites activate the tea tree’s natural defense, producing rare aromatic compounds that transform into a distinct honey-like fragrance.

As one of the most deeply fermented oolongs, Oriental Beauty reveals an exceptional depth of flavor —  golden amber hue, sweet aroma, and smooth, lingering finish.

Size

Brewing Guide (Western Style)

Use 1g of tea for every 100ml of water.
Heat water to 95°C and steep for 4–6 minutes.
Remove the leaves once the desired strength is reached to prevent over-extraction.


You can adjust the tea-to-water ratio, temperature, or steeping time to match your personal taste.

Brewing Guide (Gaiwan Style)

Warm your Gaiwan with hot water, then empty it.
Add 5g of tea to a 120–150ml Gaiwan.
Pour in 95°C water and steep for 30–45 seconds for the first infusion.
Increase steeping time slightly with each round — Oriental Beauty can be brewed 5–7 times, revealing new layers of honey and fruit notes.

Feel free to experiment with leaf ratio, water temperature, and infusion length — each adjustment reveals a different character of the tea.
