Description

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! Eastern Beauty Oolong gets its distinct sweet-honey flavor from bug bites!

Locals discovered that the tea leaves bitten by the Tea Jassid, an insect, created a special honey flavor in the tea leaves after they were plucked and processed as oolong tea. The flavor is the result of terpenes released by the leaf in self-defense.

As a result, the “Eastern Beauty” was born – a bug-bitten oolong with notes of honey, cinnamon, and bursting with fresh fragrance.

Bright yellow-orange, the tea has surprising depth and sweetness. It’s a real treat for oolong lovers!
