Formosa Oriental Beauty

Produced in Xinzhu county, Taiwan, and is known as the champagne of oolongs. It is the most famous oolong produced in Taiwan.

It's oxidation is approximately 70-80% and has a floral aroma. Its liquor is amber brown and gives the taste of ripe fruits and honey. The tea is smooth and mellow.
