Oriental Beauty Oolong – Northern Thailand Spring 2026

Oriental Beauty Spring 2026

Spring 2026 was an exceptional season for Oriental Beauty. Produced in very limited quantities from naturally insect-bitten leaves, this highly sought-after oolong delivers the distinctive honeyed fragrance and ripe-fruit character for which true Oriental Beauty is prized.

The liquor is smooth, fragrant and remarkably complex, with notes of wildflower honey, muscat grape, ripe peach and dark stone fruit, followed by a gentle citrus lift and a long, naturally sweet finish. Rich enough to captivate experienced tea drinkers, yet immediately delicious for anyone discovering fine oolong for the first time, this is one of the must-try teas of our 2026 spring collection.

Choose between two traditional finishing styles:

* Open Leaf: elegant and aromatic, with a lighter body, vivid honeyed florals and greater clarity between infusions.
* Closed Leaf: tightly rolled for a richer, deeper cup, with concentrated honey, ripe fruit and a rounder, more persistent finish.

Please tell us Open Leaf or Closed Leaf in your order notes. Selection is subject to the remaining harvest quantity.
