DESCRIPTION
Oriental Beauty Oolong - Fancy Formosa Oolong-Bai Hao.
The cup has a perfect balance of flavor, producing a honeysuckle sweetness almost peach-like taste with a wonderful floral aroma. Only two leaves and a bud are picked and processed in the traditional Formosa style. This tea is referred to as a "Champagne" silver tip oolong.
Also known as Oriental Beauty, White Tip Oolong, and Bao Hao Oolong. This tea is typically 45% to 60% fermented (oxidized) and grown under 1000 Ft at the Northern end of the Island of Taiwan. Formosa is the old Portuguese Colonial name given to the island in the 1500's. Literally translated means shapely, beautiful.

- Measure out 1.5 tsp of Oriental Beauty- Fancy Formosa Oolong tea.
- Boil water until temp reaches 190-195°.
- Steep tea for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove steeped tea leaves.
- Enjoy your fresh cup of tea!
- This tea will yield between 4-5 steeps.
ROASTED AT ALTITUDE
All our beans are roasted on-site in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. At high altitude, the lower roasting temperatures allow the natural sugars in the coffee beans to caramelize slowly. This unique process creates deep, rich flavor profiles and smooth textures — without the bitterness.
RESPONSIBLY SOURCED
At VMCT, we take pride in fostering direct relationships with growers to ensure that every coffee bean and tea leaf we source is responsibly cultivated. We’re committed to ethical, organic, and sustainable practices, understanding that certification standards can vary across the globe. That’s why we go the extra mile to research and verify that our producers meet rigorous organic and bio-dynamic farming standards. For us, it’s not just about great coffee and tea — it’s about honoring the land and the people who bring it to life.
