When it comes to teas with a refined reputation, Oriental Beauty Oolong holds a special place. Often called the “Champagne of Tea,” this unique oolong from Taiwan has a natural sweetness and complexity that makes it stand out. Here’s why this tea is so distinct—and why Babooshy’s oolong blend offers a taste of this tradition with its own special twist.
Oolong tea sits between green and black tea on the oxidation scale, which gives it a unique flavor. While green tea is fresh and light and black tea is deep and robust, oolong combines the best of both worlds. This semi-oxidized process allows it to carry both freshness and richness in every sip.
What Makes Oriental Beauty Special?
Oriental Beauty Oolong is prized for its unique sweetness, which develops naturally through an unusual process. In Taiwan, tea farmers welcome tiny leafhoppers to nibble on the leaves before harvest. These leafhoppers cause a chemical reaction in the tea leaves, boosting honey and fruity flavors without any additives. This natural reaction is rare, and it’s one of the reasons Oriental Beauty is a sought-after tea.
Because of this intricate production, Oriental Beauty Oolong is often costly and hard to find. For tea enthusiasts, its fruity, honeyed notes offer a complexity that’s almost like tasting a fine wine or champagne. Each cup brings new layers of flavor with every re-steep, so many people enjoy it multiple times from the same leaves.
