Description

A refined oolong with a robust roast

China Beauty is a deeply oxidised oolong inspired by the celebrated Taiwanese "Oriental Beauty". The leaves are bitten by a relative of the Paoli, a small Taiwanese insect, before they are harvested, which encourages them to develop fruity and woody scents.

This exquisite semi-oxidised tea enchants the palate with a rich aromatic complexity where honey, floral and fruit notes weave together in perfect balance.

This tea is organically produced and certified by an accredited independent control agency.
