About Our Organic Eastern Beauty Oolong-Special Lot

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-Special Lot

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-Special Lot

Oolong teas

After searching for some time for a pure unflavored oolong, I found The Little Red Cup. I emailed for a recommendation and Mike replied in a flash. I ordered the 4 different oolongs he recommended and they’re all great! The teas arrived quickly. The search is over - I’ll be ordering from here!

Very Special Oolong

Organic Eastern Beauty Oolong is a nice sipping tea and the description above is on point. I have been consuming more blacks of late but this Oolong has been drawing me back to the Oolong group for those moments during the holidays when you need a leisurely few minutes and it has been wonderful. I bought a smaller amout to try and now I'm back for the bigger amount. Nice addition to my already fabulous LRC collection in my tea cupboard.

A Connoisseur's Delight

I enjoy the taste's of honey, allspice and the hint of oak. Truly a sipping tea, to enjoy.

Lovely oolong

Delightful oolong that maintains its character through multiple steeps in gong fu brewing.

A special treat

I bought 2 types of oolong tea and a tea set with gaiwan and 2 cups. Both teas are lovely. I have the tea set in my office with the intent of treating myself to a little tea break and decompression time in the afternoon. Perfect choice.
