Do you know the origin of tea >>>
Oriental beauty tea picking
This tea was first produced in the late 19th century in the Beipu County in Taiwan and it was done purely by accident.
The most popular story surrounding the origins of this tea is that a tea farmer found his plantation had been damaged by small green insects, known as cicadas, similar to tiny crickets. The little pests had chewed on the leaves.
Instead for destroying the plantation to begin anew as was customary, the tea farmer harvested the tea leaves and processed them anyway. The resulting tea was so surprisingly good that it sold for twice the regular price.
At this time Taiwan was beginning to export its teas and Bai Hao Oolong found great acceptance abroad. It is even said that it was the queen of England who, upon tasting this tea, named it Oriental Beauty.
