The mellow flavor of Taiwanese bug bitten oolong is always a pleasant way to start the day. (Dongfang Meiren, or Eastern Beauty, from Mud and Leaves.)

Brewing Taiwanese Dongfang Meiren (Eastern Beauty) from Mud and Leaves in a Japanese kyusu pot. Just for fun. Kyusu brewing does highlight the fragrance of the tea.

Dongfang Meiren Cha, or Eastern Beauty Oolong Tea, is a Taiwanese bug bitten tea. A leafhopper called the "tea jassid" is prevalent in the areas where this tea is grown and actually encouraged on the tea plants used to produce the tea. The character of the tea itself is more similar to oxidized styles of Fujian White tea than to other Oolong tea. Dried stonefruit scent, light sweet flavor, and little to no bitterness or astringency even when pushed or overdosed. This is a summer 2020 Dongfang Meiren from Mud and Leaves.
