Oriental Beauty, Summer 2024

This beautiful Taiwanese oolong is one of my absolute favorites. The body is rich and the finish is long, with notes of apricots, honey, and spice. The sweetness comes from being a “bug-bitten” tea. In the summer, tiny leafhoppers are allowed to bite the leaves, triggering a healing process on the leaf that sweetens the flavor. The overall taste of this tea is fruity and sweet with a heavenly aroma. A great introduction to tea for non-tea-drinkers due to its smooth and sweet nature, and immensely enjoyable for seasoned oolong lovers!
