Oriental Beauty is originally a tea from Taiwan, but the many Taiwanese growers and tea masters have settled in Yunnan creating their own re-interpretations of Taiwanese teas using both Yunnan local varietals and high-altitude growing conditions.

It will also keep for 2 or 3 years like Yunnan Black tea (云南红茶), developing subtle nuances with time.
