How loyal are proponents of this stunning oolong variety? The following translation of a Chinese poem should help illustrate:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA cup of Oriental Beauty at the crack of dawn\u003cbr\u003e Uplifts the spirit and inspires the heart. \u003cbr\u003e A cup of Oriental Beauty after a meal \u003cbr\u003e Clears the mouth and helps the stomach\u003cbr\u003e A cup of Oriental Beauty amid the bustle of life\u003cbr\u003e Relieves parched throat and dispels vexation\u003cbr\u003e A cup of Oriental Beauty when you're overworked\u003cbr\u003e Soothes muscle and bone and dissolves fatigue\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the author of the poem has been lost to time the tea about which it was written lives on. Like all oolongs, Oriental Beauty, grown high up in the mountainous tea fields of Fujian Province, is a semi-fermented tea meaning it falls somewhere in the spectrum between green and black teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create the tea only the fine white tips of freshly sprouted tea are plucked along with the small tender white buds that appear with new growth. The leaves and buds are gently rolled and left to oxidize briefly in the sun gently darkening them and helping develop their delicate floral character. Next the leaves are moved to the dryer where they are fired at high heat to lock in their exceptional flavor. As the poem would suggest this tea is one that can be served anywhere for any reason at any time of day - enjoy the beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oolong\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taiwan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tungting Province\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Special Oolong\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400-1200ft. above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oolong tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sultry with a light toast opening.
