It traveled to the West and was given its name by an English Queen for its beautiful depth of flavor. It is also known as champagne oolong or Bai Hao oolong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriental Beauty has a signature aroma of muscat grape, brought to life by a tiny insect – the tea jassid \u003cem\u003eJacobiasca formosana\u003c\/em\u003e. When the tea plant is bitten by the jassid, it secretes a defensive hormone to attract the jassid’s main predator. As tea leaves with a high level of the secretion undergo oxidative processing, a muscat-like aroma develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea jassid thrives in warmer weather and is especially active at the bookends of summer, causing the harvest to be very seasonal. Higher quality Oriental Beauty contains more tea buds, the white brow-shaped leaves coated with resinous baby fuzz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriental Beauty offers aromas of citrus and flowers. It opens with a bouquet of rose petals and sweet muscat grape. The finish is long and generous, rendering baked sweetness from honeyed figs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about \u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/blogs\/tea-atelier\/what-is-oolong-tea\" aria-label=\"Learn more about Oolong Tea\"\u003eOolong Tea\u003c\/a\u003e or check out our \u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/pages\/tea-brew-guides\" aria-label=\"View our Tea Brewing Guides\"\u003eTea Brewing Guides\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Té Company","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":1175276732,"sku":"105601","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":34364767249,"sku":"105602","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":34356626641,"sku":"105604","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":34356626769,"sku":"105608","price":141.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/8891\/products\/oriental-beauty-oolong-tea-leaf.jpg?v=1718984169"},{"product_id":"blossom-dearie-tea","title":"Blossom Dearie","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Picture me upon your knee \/ With tea for two, and two for tea \/ Me for you, and you for me\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlossom Dearie\u003c\/strong\u003e is our homage to the great jazz songwriter and pianist.

Tea makers who migrated to the island believed the terroir between the two towns, Anxi and Muzha, to be similar, allowing for the production of a delicious crop in Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of replicating a lightly oxidized oolong with delicate floral and grass notes they knew from home, a few tea makers began experimenting with higher oxidation and repeated roasting to transform the flavor. The result is a seductively tangy and delicious roasted oolong that's full of caramelized fruit. Over a few decades, the roasted Tieguanyin became the archetypal Iron Goddess oolong of Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is from one of our favorite Iron Goddess producers. They sell strictly based on connection, with no storefront, and are almost impossible to locate even if you're standing just a few blocks away. There are only a handful of families left in Muzha making the original Iron Goddess, and undoubtedly, they all know one another and share the same last name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe suggest brewing this classic version in a clay pot with boiling water to deepen the aroma.
