Taiwan Baihao Oolong is also known as Oriental Beauty or Dong Fang Mei Ren", The origin of this name dates back to the early 20th century when a British tea merchant presented a sample of this tea to Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen was captivated by the special aroma and taste of Bai Hao. Because of the tea's lovely appearance, like a beautiful lady, and
its origin in Asia, the Queen named it "Oriental Beauty". The name Bai Hao means white tip and refers to the small tender white buds that are picked along with the top two leaves.

Unlike most high-quality Taiwanese oolong teas, which are picked in the spring or winter.the leaves of Bai Hao are processed to a greater degree of oxidation (around 50-60%) than other Taiwanese oolong teas. Taiwan Baihao Oolong is with a very smooth and sweet flavor, virtually no astringency, and a unique aroma of ripe peaches and honey.
Taiwan Baihao Oolong tea leaves are dark in color but ends in a silvery tip, similar to Yin Zhen (White) tea. This is a heavily oxidized tippy oolong tea leaf that is picked by hand, using only the young freshly grown tea leaves and is grown without the use of pesticides. When brewed the result is a reddish liquor that is especially sweet and intoxicating.
