Tea Master's Oriental Beauty

Refinement and grace come together in this limited-harvest Oriental Beauty (Bai Hao Oolong).

Hand-picked from small tea gardens in northern Taiwan, each leaf carries the warmth of the summer sun and the softness of mountain mist. The result is a cup that’s smooth, aromatic, and quietly indulgent — a tea that feels more like an experience than a drink.

Offered exclusively through our preorder campaign, this tea represents a direct connection between artisan craftsmanship and your table. Backers help fund this season’s sourcing and packaging run — all orders are submitted to the Tea Master once sales close and shipped immediately to your doorstep.

Oriental Beauty, known in Taiwan as Bai Hao Oolong (白毫烏龍), is one of the island’s most storied teas — admired for its elegance, rarity, and natural sweetness. Grown in northern Taiwan’s lush hills, the tea takes its name from the fine white “hairs” that cover the tender leaves and give them their silvery sheen.

The tea became known internationally in the late 19th century, when its striking color and refined flavor caught the attention of European traders, who nicknamed it Oriental Beauty. Since then, it has been celebrated as one of Taiwan’s finest expressions of craftsmanship — a tea of grace, balance, and quiet luxury.

Each cup of Oriental Beauty reflects the island’s artistry and uniqueness — a reminder that beauty in tea, as in life, is found not in perfection but in harmony.
