It is coaxed into existence by nature itself. This rare Taiwan oolong owes its legendary character to the tiny green leafhopper — a small insect whose bites trigger a miraculous oxidation response in the tea plant, producing a natural honey sweetness and complex floral-fruit aroma that no human hand could replicate. The result is one of the most celebrated and sought-after oolongs in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRare by Nature\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly leaves bitten by the green leafhopper (\u003cem\u003eJacobiasca formosana\u003c\/em\u003e) develop the signature honey aroma of true Oriental Beauty. This makes every harvest inherently limited and impossible to mass-produce. The 2026 harvest captures this rare character at its finest — fine golden-tipped buds, vibrant and red-flushed leaves, and an aroma that announces itself the moment the bag is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGolden Tips \u0026amp; Vivid Leaves\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dry leaves are a visual delight: slender buds dressed in golden down, interleaved with leaves that are fresh, vivid, and red-flushed — a sign of deep, natural oxidation and exceptional raw material.

Not a single sharp edge. Just warmth, sweetness, and an elegance that is uniquely Oriental Beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGolden Liquor, Silky \u0026amp; Sweet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, the liquor glows a clear, luminous golden-amber.
