Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! Eastern Beauty Oolong gets its distinct sweet-honey flavor from bug bites!
Locals discovered that the tea leaves bitten by the Tea Jassid, an insect, created a special honey flavor in the tea leaves after they were plucked and processed as oolong tea. The flavor is the result of terpenes released by the leaf in self-defense.
As a result, the “Eastern Beauty” was born – a bug-bitten oolong with notes of honey, cinnamon, and bursting with fresh fragrance.
Bright yellow-orange, the tea has surprising depth and sweetness. It’s a real treat for oolong lovers!
Company description not available.
The aroma of this tea has you almost burning your nose to get a whiff. It’s great—wildflower honey, a hint of tobacco. The flavor carries through with the honey, which is the main attraction of this tea. There’s a bit of bitterness if you brew it too hard while chasing the honey. Soft and luxurious mouthfeel too. Overall it’s mostly a one trick pony, but it does that one trick pretty well. It’s honey water—texturally, flavor, and aroma-wise. I’m not sure if the aroma has me tricked into thinking it’s sweet, but I think it is at least. Good tea and worth sharing.
