Oriental Beauty Organic Black Tea 100g

The term “Oriental Beauty” was initially given to a special Oolong grown and produced on the Western side of Taiwan, by Queen Elizabeth II, for its unique highly oxidised processing method resulting in a sweet, almost caramel and rich flavourful palate and unique aftertaste. This Oriental Beauty black tea is cultivated in Hualian, on the Eastern side of Taiwan (facing the Pacific Ocean, with high wind and moisture), to a high level of oxidisation like the Oriental Beauty Oolong. Similar to Oriental Beauty Oolong, this tea is frequent by tea jassid or at times called tea green leafhopper ( 3-7mm in length), where the jassids will eat the young shoots for the nutrient solution within, causing the leaves to naturally curl. This phenomena essentially triggers the oxidisation of tea leaves while the tea leaves are still intact. Thank to this natural special chemical reaction, the resulting tea is surprisingly sweet like subtle honey fragrance with beautiful long lingering sensations like no other.
