About Our Organic Eastern Beauty Oolong

Our Organic Eastern Beauty Oolong is a darker variety of oolong, but unlike our Da Hong Pao, it is not a rock tea and the amber brew has much less of a mineral presence. In our house we have been calling it DHP Light. Sometimes also translated as Oriental Beauty.

Its autumnal flavor profile offers hints (really, just hints) of cardamom, allspice, oak and honey - with a delightfully velvety mouthfeel.Terpenes- released by the tea plants in response to insect predation - account for the sweetness. A great tea for sipping - make it in a small pot or gaiwan and really take the time to consume this one.

This tea variety is a relative newcomer as teas go, created in the late 19th Century, and was one of the most popular tea exports of the Dodd & Co, founded by John Dodd, who settled in Taiwan in 1860, and who was instrumental in bringing this and other Oolong Teas to the United Kingdom.

Brewing Guidelines for Organic Eastern Beauty Oolong

3:30 MIN

205 F

3 TSP - 2.5G PER CUP

Brewing Guidelines are for one 8 oz. cup.

The best way to brew your tea is the way you like - don't let anyone tell you different. Our guidelines are configured for making your tea a cup at a time - maybe with our stainless tea filter. If making by the pot, maintain temperature and time but try with slightly less tea than the math would suggest.

Serving calculation assumes re-steeping your leaves once. After all, these are teas so nice, you'll steep them twice.

Customer Reviews for Organic Eastern Beauty Oolong

Why Our Tea Is Organic

Tea is among the most heavily treated crops in conventional agriculture. When you steep tea leaves in hot water, you’re making an extraction—and that extraction doesn’t discriminate between flavor compounds and pesticide residues.Every tea we sell meets certified organic standards. Our teas are certified organic by the USDA and MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association), a leading independent organic certifier. This means no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and annual third-party inspections to verify it.We source from worker-owned cooperatives in rural, mountainous regions of China, where traditional growing methods align naturally with organic standards. These aren’t industrial plantations; they’re small farms where people have been growing tea the same way for generations.Healthier soil produces better tea. Plants grown without synthetic chemical inputs develop more complex flavor profiles. You can taste the difference.
