Dong Fang Mei Ren (Oriental Beauty) Oolong Tea 2026, 25g | Hsinchu, Taiwan
Description
One of the most expressive and celebrated Taiwanese oolongs, renowned for its rich, complex, and multi-layered character. Every infusion reveals new nuances, making each tea session a unique experience. The fresh 2026 harvest, offered loose in 25 g packs.
The dry leaf offers an enchanting aroma of flowers, honey, light wine, and delicate spices. The infusion is deep, elegant, and refined, where natural sweetness intertwines beautifully with a soft, velvety acidity.
What makes this tea truly special is its natural interaction with green leaf cicadas during the growing season. Their gentle bites trigger a defensive reaction in the leaf while it is still on the tea plant, and it is this reaction that creates the distinctive honeyed, fruity aroma and flavour that have made the tea famous worldwide.
Within a single cup, it is possible to discover echoes of several tea styles at once: the sweetness of black tea, the complexity of oolong, and the delicate elegance of white tea. A remarkable tea that offers something personal to every tea lover.
