Description
Made using long-proven production methods, Oriental Beauty (Bai Hao Oolong) is heavily fermented and medium-roasted.
Classic Flavor & Fragrance
Bai Hao Oolong is a world-famous tea, also known as Oriental Beauty, with multi-colored, silver-tipped, twisted leaves. Our Bai Hao Oolong is a perfect balance between the two traditional Bai Hao production methods, known as floral style and honey style. It features the cinnamon fragrance of the floral style, and the sweet fragrance of the honey style.
Tea Garden
This Bai Hao Oolong – B is grown at mountains in northern Vietnam, harvested in summer 2023. Bai Hao Oolong tea plants are visited by small insects called leafhoppers or tea jassids, which bite the leaves, producing much of the beautiful honey-sweetness of the tea. Leafhoppers only survive in organically-controlled tea gardens.
