Taiwan Oolong Tea - Dong Fang Mei Ren (Oriental Beauty)

Dong Fang Mei Ren, or "Oriental Beauty," is one of Taiwan's most celebrated and exquisite oolongs. Its legendary status comes from a remarkable natural process: in early summer, tiny tea leafhoppers (cicadas) gently nibble on the youngest buds. This natural interaction triggers a unique defense mechanism in the plant, resulting in a complex chemical transformation that creates the tea's signature honey-like sweetness, lush fruity notes, and delicate floral bouquet.
The dry leaves are a beautiful mix of dark brown, white, and silver tips. The brewed liquor shines with a bright amber-gold hue. The flavor is exceptionally smooth, round, and full-bodied, with no astringency, leading to a long, sweet, and captivating aftertaste.
Oriental Beauty is the epitome of elegance and harmony. It is the perfect choice for a refined tea session, offering a serene and uplifting experience that delights the senses.
Brewing Recommendation:

• Water Temperature: 90–95 °C (194–203 °F)
• Tea Amount: 5–6 grams per 150 ml
• Steeping Time: Start with 15-20 seconds. This tea yields many flavorful infusions—gradually increase time with each steep.
