Oriental Beauty|東方美人 (by Plantation)
Said to be named by an English queen for its colourful, delicate appearance,
this legendary rare beauty is also called the White Tipped Oolong and is one of Taiwan's most highly prized teas. Produced exclusively during the summer months, the tea is always produced in pesticide-free conditions to allow for a green leafhopper to bite the leaves, inducing early oxidation and hence a honey-like aroma in the teas.
The result is a bright, amber-coloured liquor with hints of peach and a sweet, mellow honey aroma.
Origin: Pinglin, New Taipei City
Oxidation Level: ⦿⦿⦿○○
Tasting Note: Honey, Peach, Mellow
Brewing Method: Steep 2.5g in a 300 ml teapot of 80°C water for 3 minutes.
