Description

Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea is a variety of Jinxuan cultivar leaves grown on Mount Dahei, a national forest reservation in Yunnan Province, a famous tea region in China’s beautiful southwest. This tea is quite unique in that early in the season, leaf hoppers arrive at the tea garden, during a 3 week time frame, they will partially chew the leaves allowing it to oxidize while still growing to make Oriental Beauty.

The oxidization rate of Oriental Beauty is more than 60%, which is achieved through a long period of cool temperature, complicated withering and leaf processing. Followed by a triple roasting of the leaves, which draws out the sweet honey-like notes and a complex depth of flavor. These natural climate conditions, along with the traditional withering process, creates the unique charm and flavor profile of the honey and muscatel notes in this tea.

Once steeped, Oriental Beauty Oolong offers a crystal clear golden amber tea liquor, you will appreciate the flecks of pale green leaf and whole leaves capturing the high quality of the leaf. It releases a rich floral and muscatel aroma. Its flavor is rich, bold, sweet, and long-lasting - just what is desired in a high-quality Oriental Beauty Oolong tea.

my first favourite tea, when i was just beginning to get into chinese/gong fu tea, was oriental beauty tea.

my dad's friend gifted a box of it to him many years ago after a trip to china, and it sat in our kitchen for over a decade. we weren't big tea drinkers. but when i became interested in tea, my dad remembered that big red box of tea, and we dusted it off and tried it. i loved it right away. the label was chinese, so we used google lens to translate the text and find out that it was oriental beauty tea.

after i inevitably drank it all, i wanted to buy more. unfortunately it's a rare tea; difficult to find even in a big city. i bought it the one time i saw it in my city, but it wasn't the same as the one my dad's friend bought in china. so when i saw it on tealyra i was excited to get a small 25g sample. i was amazed at the quality. it tastes exactly like the one from china, and brings back great memories of my first gong fu tea ceremonies. i'm looking forward to buying a bigger portion from here when i run out of what i have.

Very good, oxidized oolong with a pleasant honey flavor. If I had to choose just one tea to live with, it would be Oriental Beauty.

This tea is spectacular, gung fu style gives you lots of sweet flowers and citrus for the first brews, then it turns into a "normal" oolong tea with great longevity.
