Bai Hao (Oriental Beauty)

$38.00 USD

One of the most famous teas of Taiwan, Bai Hao, also known as Oriental Beauty is a particularly challenging tea to source every year. Bai Hao is one of the "bug bitten" teas that are known for its distinct fruity notes and honey sweetness. The quality of leaf and flavor depends on an almost symbiotic relationship between the tea farmer and the leaf hopper insect which bites the tea leaves during certain times of the year, initiating a chemical reaction in the plant. This reaction along with careful processing of the tea leaves by the farmer yields the distinctive characteristics of Bai Hao Oolong.
