In celebration of our 10th birthday, we are pampering your senses with limited editions batches of the beloved Oriental Beauty. 

A sophisticated expression of Taiwan's most precious tea. This batch of Oriental Beauty is made from the Jin Xuan cultivar (TTES #12), also known as the milk oolong, revealing an unexpected dimension to the classic Dongfang Meiren. 

A few sips of this tea transport you to an old Buddhist temple in the Far East, constructed with hinoki wood generations ago. Its expression is bold and present - think traces of musky incense next to a bowl of fresh tropical fruit and fragrant roses. 

When the Jin Xuan leaves are bitten by the tea jassid and undergo heavy oxidation, the cultivar's naturally creamy texture meets Oriental Beauty's signature muscat and rosy aromatics. The result is something so delicious and thrilling. We can't wait for you to experience it!
