People after all directly drink the tea leaves after brewing water, so no one would like to drink the insanitary tea, such as the tea which was put among the dust, the tea which was processed by dirty machines, or the tea which was processing while the tea-maker was smoking.

    Tea is like a person. Just as wounds can make a person weak or strong, the challenges faced by tea plants shape their unique characteristics. These “wounds” are what make Oriental Beauty Tea truly special.

    The Essence of Oriental Beauty Tea

    Hailing from the beautiful island of Formosa, Oriental Beauty Tea is one of the most precious and challenging teas to master. This tea was perhaps the first successful example of producing bug-bitten tea, creating a category known as “honey-flavored” teas.

    The Magic Behind the Flavor

    The secret lies in the tiny insect known as Jacobiasca formosana, or the green leafhopper. These insects feed on the tea leaves, activating the plant’s self-defense mechanisms, which produce phytoalexins, especially terpenes like thermotrienols. These compounds act as natural repellents and attract predators to feed on the insects. One notable terpene, hotrienol, is found in grapes, honey, and Darjeeling tea, contributing to the desirable musky aroma.

    Perfect Conditions for a Perfect Tea

    To attract these insects, tea gardens must be completely pesticide-free and are usually located at lower altitudes with warmer temperatures. Harvested during the hottest months of mid-summer, when the leafhoppers are most active, the yield is lower than other tea varieties, making Oriental Beauty Tea even more precious.

    Brewing Tips for the Best Experience

    We recommend brewing Oriental Beauty Tea at a lower temperature with a longer steeping time to highlight its musky, fermented, sweet-sour aroma. As the brewing process continues, the tea gracefully transforms, revealing the woody character typical of black tea.

    A Royal Favorite

    Also known as the Beauty of the East, this tea earned its nickname after Queen Elizabeth II fell in love with its exquisite flavor.

    About This Tea

    Named “Wrapped Kind” after the traditional packaging method, this tea is crafted from greener oolongs but is oxidized slightly longer. This careful process shifts its flavor profile from purely vegetal to a perfect balance of vegetal, floral, and fruity notes. Known as Wenshan Baozhong or Pouchong, this tea stands out as one of the few Taiwanese oolongs not ball-rolled, making it ideal for aging. Aging oolong tea is an art, and this variety excels in developing complexity over time. Versatile and refreshing, it’s also an excellent choice for cold brewing.

    Brewing Tips
