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.
