We discovered Eastern Beauty, a velvety oolong, in Yunnan, China. Dark brown leaves indicate a higher-oxidized oolong, with a surprisingly bright aroma. This refreshing note rises from the melon-forward flavor. Just as fresh fruit gives minty or spicy impressions, Eastern Beauty conveys that pinpoint spriteliness up top, with a quiet, vanilla–spice note in the foundation.
The texture, though, makes the tea: smooth, balanced, honey-rich... Perfectly satisfying heft, for any fan of darker oolongs or whole-leaf black teas. Subsequent steeps remain medium- to full-bodied, making this oolong an excellent value for avid re-steepers or gong fu aficionados.
If you like discovering new flavors in tea, we can't say enough good things about this one! While this exquisite oolong comes from the base of Jingmai Mountain in Yunnan, the tea plants come from Taiwan. The leaves are hand-picked to ensure quality and consistency. A Taiwanese family who owns this farm. Their tea expertise shows in Eastern Beauty's balanced and exquisite flavor profile.
