OOLONG TEA: Oriental Beauty, Taiwan

Oriental Beauty
Oolong tea, Taiwan

Flavour: sweet, muscatel, malty, creamy
One of the most famous oolongs in the world, Oriental Beauty is produced using the clever, natural technique of allowing tiny leaf hopper insects to nibble on the leaves before harvest. This initiates a defensive chemical change inside the leaf that produces its distinctive sweet, muscatel flavour. 

Oriental Beauty is sometimes known as White Tip Oolong or Champagne Oolong.

Both soothing and invigorating, these leaves infuse into a golden liquor with captivating brown sugar, malt, cream and muscatel notes.

July 2025 harvest.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 90°. Three infusions. 

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
