01

Identity and origin

Oriental Beauty is a highly oxidized Taiwan oolong associated with leafhopper-bitten summer material and a honeyed, fruity profile.

02

Craft and leaf style

Insect interaction, careful plucking, withering and relatively high oxidation help form distinctive honey-fruit aromatics. Not every bitten leaf becomes quality tea.

03

Aroma, taste and texture

Honey, muscat grape, ripe peach, citrus peel and spice can appear with a smooth amber liquor.

Practical guidance

Use 4-5g per 100ml at 85-95°C; excessive heat or time can flatten the perfume.

Identification and caution

Look for integrated honey-fruit flavor and clear origin rather than relying on insect-bite stories alone.
