Smooth and rich with excellent body, and mouth-feel. A Taiwanese supreme oolong that exhibits the famous toast and jam character very well. In many parts of the world, tea lovers believe that until you've tried Oriental Beauty, also known as Bai Hao Oolong, you've never truly had oolong tea.
To create the tea, only the fine white tips of freshly sprouted tea are plucked along with the small tender white buds that appear with new growth. The leaves and buds are gently rolled and left to oxidize briefly in the sun, gently darkening them and helping develop their delicate floral character. Next, the leaves are moved to the dryer where they are fired at high heat to lock in their exceptional flavor. As the poem would suggest, this tea is one that can be served anywhere, for any reason, at any time of day - enjoy the beauty.
