Taiwan Oriental Beauty
Rated 5.00 out of 5
$44.00 CAD for 125g
The taste is light and sweet, with a smooth honey and muscatel aroma giving it a unique flavour, not unlike a fine mellow, black tea. The processing of this 'Champagne' oolong is characterized by heavy oxidation (60% to 70%) and heavy withering (13% to 25%). The oxidation process is initiated before the leaves are plucked with nature's assistance in the form of small insects biting the tender leaves.
