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.

I've tried a few tea clubs and in terms of quality and quantity for the price, there are few better deals than the one from Eco-Cha Teas. On the other hand, if you drink anything other than their Taiwanese teas from the club, you might end up with a backlog. This is 2020 Dong Ding Oolong from the Eco-Cha Tea Club.

Oolong Sunday, 2021 Dazuan Organic "Imperial Emerald Magpie" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. Reluctant to reveal its charms, this is a lovely tea to savor over a long session on a slow Sunday.

From the taste, my initial instinct was that Ho Yum Mystery tea No 3 was a yellow tea, but the shape of the dry tea and pick standard was nothing like any Chinese yellow tea I'd tried, so I second guessed myself that it might be some sort of raw Liu Bao. Well, it turns out my first instinct was right, tea No 3 was a Taiwanese organic yellow tea made from the "Green Jade" or Cui Yu cultivar.

Finishing off this sample of 2021 Taiwan Winter DalunShan High Mountain Oolong from Mud and Leaves. It really is a great tea. I mean, tea isn't their main business, but it's fun that they sell teas to feature their teaware! A little add on to your order.
