Direct from the Origin

Oriental Beauty tea is meticulously crafted using traditional methods. The tea leaves are hand-picked from high-altitude tea gardens in Taiwan, ensuring the highest quality and flavor. The unique production process, involving partial fermentation, gives this tea its characteristic taste and appearance. The leaves are withered under natural sunlight and then oxidized to the perfect degree, preserving their multicolored appearance and rich aroma.

History & Craftsmanship of Oriental Beauty

Oriental Beauty tea has a rich history and cultural significance. It is traditionally produced in the Hsinchu region of Taiwan, where the unique climate and terroir contribute to its distinctive flavor. According to legend, its name "Oriental Beauty" was given by Queen Elizabeth II of England after she tasted the tea and was enchanted by its exceptional taste. This tea has been cherished for centuries and continues to be a symbol of high-quality Taiwanese oolong tea, celebrated worldwide for its unique flavor and exquisite appearance.
