Taiwan Beauty. Eastern Beauty. Baihao oolong. Five Color Oolong. But honestly, it’s called Pong Fong Cha… the BS tea. No one back then could figure out why this was such a big hit when it was made. After all, bug bitten, imperfect, runted leaves…. It went against the grain to what defines good tea.
Today, Taiwan Beauty is one of the most difficult to make, most challenging to expect, expensive, and one of the most unusual tea in the world. It is easy to appreciate and difficult to understand. The confluence of Leaf Hoppers, hot weather, perfect steamy humidity, and experienced, genius hands- a tea as beautiful as Taiwan.
