Oriental Beauty

Taiwan's Naturally Sweet Oolong

Meet Oriental Beauty, one of Taiwan's most distinctive oolong teas, celebrated for its remarkable natural sweetness & beautifully complex flavour.

Also known as Dong Fang Mei Ren, meaning Eastern Beauty, this exceptional tea develops its signature honeyed character through a fascinating combination of late-season harvesting, tiny leafhoppers & traditional tea craftsmanship.

No honey added, just nature doing something rather wonderful!

What Does Oriental Beauty Taste Like?

Expect a silky-smooth oolong with rich honey sweetness, ripe stone fruit, delicate floral notes & a hint of muscatel.

Its fragrant aroma & lingering sweetness create a beautifully layered cup, with enough depth to satisfy black tea lovers while retaining the elegance of an oolong.

Sweet, fruity & wonderfully moreish, this is a tea worth taking your time over.

The Secret Behind Oriental Beauty

Oriental Beauty is traditionally harvested later in the growing season, when tiny leafhoppers have nibbled the young tea leaves.

This natural interaction helps develop the tea's distinctive honey-like aroma. The leaves then undergo relatively high oxidation for an oolong, creating their rich, complex character.

Enjoy Oriental Beauty without milk or sweetener to appreciate its natural sweetness. Try multiple infusions to discover how the flavours develop.

A little help from nature, a lot of Taiwanese tea expertise & one rather beautiful brew!
