Thailand Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea
£5.40
An unusual 'Oriental Beauty' oolong; it has a low degree of oxidisation and has been rolled into pearls. As a result it is much lighter tasting than typical Oriental Beauty and possesses a sweet floral lilac taste which lingers in the mouth.
Like Taiwanese Oriental Beauty, the tea is produced with silver haired covered buds and leafs which have been bitten by 'leafhopper' insects which causes the leaf to oxidise prior to picking.
Produced in Northern Thailand in what was once the hub of the 'Golden Triangle', the farmers in 1994 turned their back on opium production and switched to tea, importing a range of tea plants from Taiwan's famed tea producing region Alishan.
