Oriental Beauty Tea Pin - Wear Your Tea Enamel Brooch

Tea Strolling's new creation for 2024: **[ Select Drool Tea - Oriental Beauty Metal Pin! ]** Inspired by three years of apprenticeship in Oriental Beauty tea making~ White-tipped oolong is a signature Taiwanese tea, also known as Dong Fang Mei Ren tea. The key characteristic of Dong Fang Mei Ren is "drooling" (著涎), which refers to the unique honey aroma formed when the tea leaves are bitten by the leafhopper, followed by a series of processing steps! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53991505733_29f2f63808_b.jpg The leaves used to make Oriental Beauty tea have a very different shape from other tea types. Their size, color, and the appearance of the dried leaves are more like **little blossoms** ✿ So, following the 5 previous tea leaf pin designs, this year we've created a special motif exclusively for Oriental Beauty tea ♡ We've also used a new processing technique: screen printing white and orange veins! And the crucial leafhopper is here too, on the tender buds ☆ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53991934765_b129531431_b.jpg The backing card depicts different scenarios for the tea leaves: a yellowish-green for freshly picked tea shoots, and a brick red for fully fermented dried tea leaves, paired with a scale used for tea tasting ♡ The overall design pays homage to competition labels! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53990609842_f033f1f03a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53991527391_9b088de799_b.jpg ⧆ Pin Details Material: Metal Size: Approximately 3 cm in length and width https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53990611632_32f30a4f26_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53991653788_4342b827bc_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53991531496_2566737c33_b.jpg For more stories and creations, follow us on IG ☞ **@teastrolling** & our **Blog ☞ Tea Strolling** ヽ (● ́ε`●) ノ
