Description

Eastern Beauty is a velvety oolong tea we discovered while at the tea farm in Yunnan, China. This slightly darker oolong beckons with a honey aroma and front flavor. Then fresh citrus and melon notes—with hints of guava—continue to unfold. This tea epitomizes the complexity and richness found in top quality oolongs. If you like discovering new flavors in tea, we strongly encourage you to taste this one!

On the first steep, brew at a lower temperature (185 degrees) for 2-3 minutes. Then steep the leaves a 2nd or 3rd time, and enjoy the experience.

While this exquisite oolong comes from the base of Jingmai Mountain in Yunnan, the tea plants come from Taiwan. The Taiwanese family that owns this farm offers much expertise, demonstrated in this tea’s depth of flavor. Eastern Beauty is hand picked to ensure quality and consistent flavor.

  1. Wasn’t impressed with this tea. It seemed a bit stale and the flavor was very difficult to find. This just didn’t taste fresh, clean, sweet and floral like it should. If you can give brewing tips to make it better, i would love to hear it. I enjoy both Gong Fu Brewing. Grandpa style & Western style brewing.

    • Hi Chefcor, Thank you for trying our tea. Our Eastern Beauty can be a sensitive tea. Play around with the brew times-try steeping for 2 minutes at 185 degrees. Oversteeping can overwhelm the nuance found in more sensitive teas. We think there is a lot of depth with this Chinese oolong, with melon and a tinge of tang. We hope this helps! LMTC

I had a friend share some of their instant golden latte mix with me and it is amazing. I suffer from really bad inflammation in my hands and this calms it down so well. It is also very delicious so I just had to get some of my own. They also sent me some stickers, a nice note and a sample. It was so sweet. My cat definitely approves. Thank you!

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.

Great tea shop with awesome, welcoming staff. I love the peaceful environment to have a cup of tea while reading or working. Lots of gift and to go tea options.
