Taiwan Oriental Beauty Tea

Oriental Beauty or Baihao, marketed as Dongfang Meiren, or White Tip Oolong or Champagne Oolong, is produced in Taiwan and viewed as a highly oxidized oolong tea. Oriental Beauty Tea has honey-like aroma, a sweet and tangy taste.

In the summer of Taiwan, Jacobiasca formosana, a kind of insect that feeds on tea, will appear in the tea gardens. These insects suck the juices of leaves to oxidize tea leaves and produce honey-like aroma.
