Supreme Organic Dongfang Meiren (Oriental Beauty) Taiwan Oolong Tea

Dongfang Meiren (Oriental Beauty) is another famous and the most oxidized (70-80%) type of Taiwanese oolong tea. Its special flavor is a result of a natural self-defense mechanism against leaf-hoppers eating tender tea leaves. Tea trees begin producing higher concentrations of polyphenols and tannins. Bites of insects begin oxidizing tea leaves before they are picked, producing a rich, fruity and floral aroma.

This high-grade Oriental Beauty tea is made up of using only a pluck of the bud plus two leaves, which provides a clean liquor and a highly aromatic and distinguishing Oriental Beauty fragrance.
