Oriental Beauty A Oolong Tea

Oriental Beauty A (东方美人茶), also celebrated as Eastern Beauty, is an exquisite oolong tea meticulously harvested from the high-altitude organic plantations of Doi Mae Salong Mountain in Chiang Rai Province, Northern Thailand. This tea is renowned for its unique production process, which involves allowing leafhoppers to nibble on the tea leaves, initiating a natural oxidation process that contributes to the tea's distinctive flavor profile.

Cultivated at altitudes exceeding 1200 meters, the climate and soil composition of Doi Mae Salong offer ideal conditions for growing this exceptional tea. The tea leaves are carefully selected and handpicked, ensuring only the highest quality leaves are used. Oriental Beauty A is characterized by its beautiful array of colors, including silver, green, and red hues, which are a result of the meticulous oxidation and drying processes.

Upon brewing, Oriental Beauty A unveils a brilliant amber infusion that delights the senses with a complex aroma blending floral, fruity, and honeyed notes. Its flavor is equally captivating, offering a sweet and smooth taste with a hint of spice and a lingering aftertaste that is both refreshing and invigorating. This tea's unique flavor profile is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of the tea makers and the rich biodiversity of Northern Thailand.

Doi Mae Salong's transition from a region known for opium cultivation to a revered tea-producing area adds a profound historical depth to Oriental Beauty A. The commitment to organic farming practices in the area ensures that each cup of tea is not only a celebration of flavor but also a tribute to sustainable and responsible tea cultivation.
