Oriental Beauty Teabags (20pcs)

Oriental Beauty is a heavily fermented (60-70% oxidised) tea produced in the Hsinchu and Taoyuan regions of Taiwan. Also known as Dong Fang Mei Ren, it’s the ‘Chin-Shin Da Pan’ (青心大冇) cultivar grown without pesticides to deliberately encourage a common pest, the tea green leafhopper (Jacobiasca formosana), to feed on its leaves, stems, and buds. These insects suck the phloem juices of the plant which leads to its production of monoterpene diol and hotrienol that together give the tea its unique flavour.

It was once thought that a tea farmer in Beipu noticed that small green insects, later known as cicadas, had damaged the leaves of his newly picked spring crop. Rather than destroying his crop, he decided to process the leaves into tea. He then took his product to a local tea merchant, who liked it well enough to pay him twice the price of his usual tea. When he returned to his village, he boasted to his neighbours about his success. They believed he was exaggerating and so named his tea, ‘Peng Feng Cha’ [膨風茶], or Braggart’s tea.

This tea is also available in loose leaf form.

Dragon Well Teabags (20pcs)

Dragon Well is a pan-fried green tea produced in the West Lake of Hangzhou. It is said to have been named after a well that contains relatively dense water. After a rainfall, the lighter rainwater floating on its surface would exhibit a sinuous and twisting boundary with the well water, resembling the movements of a Chinese dragon.

Dragon Well exudes a refreshing aroma of roasted chestnuts or beans. This tea is rich in vitamin C and is purported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. As a beverage that cools one down effectively, Dragon Well is recommended if you want to cool down from the scorching heat.

Enjoy these Dragon Well Teabags at your convenience, or in traditional loose leaf form.

Pu’er (or Pu-erh) is a type of fermented dark tea produced in Yunnan province, famous worldwide for its taste complexity and potential health benefits.

This mature tea is even used as a medicine in some countries. But instead of mirroring the bitter taste of most medicines, the taste of Pu’er is better likened to a deep breath of fresh air in a springtime pine forest, after heavy rain.
