This Bai Hao Oolong, also called Dong Fang Mei Ren or Oriental Beauty, the tea comes from Pinlin, Taiwan and is of certified organic quality. The multi-colored tea leaves are reminiscent of autumn leaves. The name Bai Hao, white buds, refers to the small white leaf buds picked together with the top two leaves. This tea is bitten by small grasshoppers, Jacobiasca formosana, which causes the leaves to oxidize on the plant and give them a typical honey-like taste. After harvesting, the leaves of the Bai Hao are processed, heavily oxidized, more than most other Taiwanese Oolong teas. The result is a concentrated complex sweet tea reminiscent of dried red fruit, honey and wood and with a pleasant roasted accent.
