Oriental Beauty
Unique & extraordinary medium-highly oxidized Dong Fang Mei Ten oolong is harvested each July by hand in Northern Taiwan's rural Beipu township in Hsinchu County, the seat of Hakka culture. For its distinct aroma & exquisitely complex flavor we must give thanks to tiny little buggers that chew the tea leaves. With flavor reminiscent of sweet fruit & honey. Oriental beauty is an unforgettable experience in every cup. Be sure to steep the leaves directly in the cup & refresh during one sitting as many times as you so desire.
