Oriental Beauty Taiwan Oolong Tea is a rare and highly prized white-tip oolong known for its natural sweetness and refined character. Its twisted leaves, flecked with silvery tips, unfurl gracefully in the teapot, releasing a warm, honeyed aroma with soft fruit tones.

This tea is also known as Formosa Oriental Beauty and has become one of Taiwan’s most iconic oolongs.

According to legend, Oriental Beauty gained its name in the 1960s when Queen Elizabeth II tasted this tea and admired the graceful movement of its leaves as they steeped. Enchanted by both flavor and appearance, she named it “Oriental Beauty,” a title that helped popularize the tea in the West.

The distinctive flavor of Oriental Beauty comes from a natural interaction between the tea plant and leafhopper insects during harvest. This process triggers a chemical response in the leaves, creating the tea’s signature honeyed sweetness and fruit-forward aroma.
