Dong Fang Mei Ren

This tea is one of those rare cases where judging a book by its cover is actually justified. Named "Eastern Beauty" for good reason, its beautifully furled, multi-colored leaves are not only a visual delight but also offer a multi-layered experience on the palate.

The silky liquor impresses from the first steep with its bold, dark honey aroma, a signature characteristic of this tea. This is beautifully complemented by an exquisitely perfumed note of dried wild rose, adding a touch of untamed elegance to the mix. A crisp, tangy note, reminiscent of green apple, perfectly balances the profile with a refreshing, fruity sweetness.

A legendary Taiwanese oolong that truly lives up to its own legend.
