Formosa Oolong is a traditionally crafted, heavily oxidized Taiwanese oolong that showcases the island’s classic “black-oolong” style—bridging the aromatic lift of oolong with the depth and sweetness of black tea. Without the influence of leafhopper bites, its character is shaped instead by careful withering, full oxidation, and precise rolling that concentrate the leaf’s natural sugars and aromatic oils.

This process transforms fresh, green compounds into rich honeyed and fruity notes while preserving the layered complexity that defines fine oolong. The absence of insect stress results in a profile that is round, clean, and purely varietal, highlighting the tea’s natural sweetness and floral fruit tones.

The first infusions release aromas of baked apple, wild honey, and orange blossom. On the palate, flavors of ripe stone fruit, caramelized sugar, and gentle spice unfold over a smooth, velvety body. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of honey and dried fruit that echo the warmth and clarity of a perfectly oxidized Taiwanese oolong.

Our Offering

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.

Background of the tea

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.
