Due to the particular production method, this tea has a delicate fruity perfume and an exquisite taste reminding scent of muscatel grape. https://shop.r10s.com/59e/1f5/1c92/1a2f/5092/6214/cac9/1126e6972b005056ae5055.jpg Oriental Beauty is in very scarce supply, because the production relies on a wonderful trick from nature. In the summer, a green leafhopper insect (Jacobiasca formosana) is responsible for the production of volatile aromatic compounds in the tea leaves. To make the highest quality tea, producers select only the leaves attacked by the leafhoppers, which increases the natural honey fragrance of the tea. Oriental beauty at summer time is the best choice during whole year; however, because the lush, fruity flavors depend on the leafhopper's visit to the gardens, this tea is exceptionally difficult to harvest in consistent volume year by year. https://shop.r10s.com/89b/bd4/0b82/e48d/b0f7/587f/22f9/11a2e6ace70050569919fe.jpg While brewing, the nose treats your senses to the scent of pressed rose petals and orange peel. Tasting notes are multi-layered, beginning with a sweet combination of spiced dates and apricot. The fruitiness segues into a honeyed after-taste that lingers for up to a minute. Flavors are more intense for the first three steeps, with steeps from three to six becoming mellower and sweet, lower in the mouth. Be sure to admire the exceptional clarity and beautiful crimson hue of the liquid before sipping! https://shop.r10s.com/bed/933/2e29/ebc2/40ed/62f6/ccd1/1162e6972b005056ae5055.jpg **Stories behind the name, Oriental Beauty. ** The Chinese name for this tea is Dong Fan Mei Ren (東方美人) and is translated as "Oriental Beauty". It is also commonly called Champagne Oolong, Bragger's Oolong, Bai Hao Oolong (white tips Oolong), etc. "Bai Hao Oolong" is translated as "white-tipped Oolong tea" due to the high number of white buds that are used in the production of this tea.
