Oolong is a semi-oxidized tea produced primarily in China and Taiwan. Oxidation ranges from as little as 10% (near green tea) to as much as 80% (near black tea) giving Oolong the widest variety in style, taste and appearance.

Oriental Beauty, also known as Dongang Meiren, or Champagne Oolong is a wonderfully complex oolong from Taiwan which stands out from all others due in large part to the role of hungry Green Tea Leafhoppers in helping develop the complex notes found in the finished product. The dry leaf has a wide mix of green, brown, and sliver leaves. Upon steeping this tea results in an orange-brown liquor with sweet, woody, and floral aroma and taste. As it cools the taste becomes even more complex.
