Oriental Beauty Canister
The name of oriental beauty tea comes from a rather romantic story. It is said that in 19th century, the British Queen Victoria was amazed by its look of flowery pekoe in coppery sheen; when brewing, the bloomed leaves swing like a dancing lady, evoking the silken honey and fruity perfume in the crystal cup. The Queen was so fascinated and bestowed the title “Oriental Beauty” upon the tea. This heavily oxidised oolong tea can only be found in Taiwan. Its leaves are bitten by green leafhoppers and should be considered blemished; nevertheless, thanks to the tireless efforts made by the devoted artisans, we luckily have the chance to taste this exquisite oriental beauty tea whose characters were wholeheartedly admired by the Queen herself.
