Oriental Beauty, a tea with a fascinating history and a taste that will captivate your senses. This unique tea originates from north of Taiwan and is renowned for its distinctive character shaped by nature's unexpected influence. It is the result of a remarkable phenomenon where tiny leafhopper insects selectively nibble on the tea leaves, triggering a cascade of extraordinary changes. These bug bites stimulate the tea plant to produce an abundance of natural compounds, creating a tea like no other.

Crafted through a medium fermentation process, our Oriental Beauty offers a truly exceptional flavor profile. We are wowed by the complexity reminiscent of honey and ripe fruits. The enchanting sweetness, combined with a subtle floral undertone, leaves a lasting impression on one's palate.

It exudes a strong aroma of honey and ripe fruits. The essence of Oriental Beauty lies in its charm, with deep red amber-colored tea liquor indicating a thorough roasting process, while light amber signifies the original tea liquor, infused with a natural honey fragrance. Western tea enthusiasts praise it as Oriental Beauty.

Het productieproces van oolong thee wordt meestal beschouwd als het meest ingewikkelde van alle theesoorten. Na de oogst wordt de thee in de zon verdord om te beginnen met oxideren. De volgende stap in het proces is het 'kneuzen', een proces dat gericht is op het verder verminderen van het vocht en de grassigheid. Zodra dit proces is voltooid, schudden de theeboeren de bladeren in een rotan mand en oefenen ze druk uit met hun handen om de oxidatie te verspreiden en te versnellen. Na dit schudden zijn de theeblaadjes groen in het midden en rood aan de rand. In het voorlaatste stadium wordt de oolong thee verwarmd om de enzymen in de bladeren te reduceren en de oxidatie te stoppen. Tot slot worden de blaadjes in de gewenste vorm gerold en langzaam gebakken tot afgewerkte thee.
