ORIENTAL BEAUTY TEA
A remarkable collaboration between human craftsmanship and nature shapes the stellar reputation of Oriental Beauty tea. In the hot, humid summer, the tea gardens are intentionally left untended to attract green leafhoppers to bite the young buds. Their bites unwittingly triggers the tree’s natural defense mechanism, developing unique flavors while the leaves are still on the branches.To capture the finest quality, these insect-bitten buds are harvested entirely by hand during peak sun hours, before going through a closed-loop processing procedure under masterful technique by skilled artisans. With an exceptionally limited annual yield, Oriental Beauty remains one of the most exquisite and prestigious summer teas in the world.
