JSY Oriental beauty Oolong Tea 300g Recycle Bag Loose Leaf Premium Tea

Oriental Beauty oolong tea, or Dongfang Meiren, was the most precious tea in 20th century Taiwan. 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.

Oriental Beauty has a signature aroma of muscat grape, brought to life by a tiny insect – the tea jassid Jacobiasca formosana. 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.

BENEFITS：

Studies have shown that drinking a couple of cups of oolong per day may indeed help break down fat while you're sleeping due to the tea's metabolism-boosting capabilities, therefore reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Those capabilities are down to the tea's high levels of polyphenols, the antioxidant-packed plant-based compounds that are also linked to a decrease in cell division in certain cancers, improved bone mineral density and a reduction in certain skin conditions such as eczema.

How to brew :

Boiling the water up to 80-90C and steeping the leaves for three to four minutes. 

The best teapots to use for this tea are porcelain or glass – unlike other oolongs, the use of a clay pot such as a Yixing may detract from Oriental Beauty's finely balanced flavour and integrity.
