Eastern Beauty Oolong

$4.80

Eastern Beauty, also know as Oriental Beauty, Bai Hao Oolong, and Champagne Formosa, is one of the most famous and unique Asian teas.  During the growing process, green cicadas or “leafhoppers” bite the leaves, stimulating a hormonal reaction in the tea tree that develops its natural honey flavor.  This also means that the tea is organic, as no pesticides are used during production.  Eastern Beauty is more oxidized than other oolongs and has a very distinctive taste.  It is delightfully smooth and fruity, with naturally sweet honey and floral undertones.  Thanks to its lack of astringency, this selection is also very forgiving to oversteeping and its savory flavor persists through many infusions.
