Fermented Taiwanese oolong with a natural twist made from Da Mo tea bushes, widely known as Eastern Beauty.
This tea has many names—Peng Feng, Bai Hao Oolong, Formosa Oolong, Taiwanese Butterfly. Eastern Beauty has been nicknamed "Cake Tea" and "Tea Champagne" due to its extraordinary honey-fruity sweetness and spicy flavor. It is believed that the unique flavor profile of this tea is influenced by specific insects, the green leafhoppers, which nibble on the tea leaves and initiate the fermentation process on the bush itself.
The production of Eastern Beauty utilizes the finest organic raw material—young, half-opened buds with large, fully developed leaves. These buds contain the highest concentration of essential oils and tea alkaloids. The presence of buds (tips) covered in white hairs is why this oolong is called "Bai Hao," meaning oolong with white fuzz. All raw material is collected exclusively by hand.
Aroma: Floral-fruity, honeyed, fragrant, intoxicating.
Flavor: Soft, velvety yet bright and expressive, with notes of berries, flowers, and delicate nectar sweetness. Juicy, refreshing, long-lasting aftertaste with a slight tartness and a pleasant astringent hint reminiscent of fine red teas.
Effect: Inspiring, illuminating, and gently uplifting.
Harvest: 2024.
Brewing Instructions: It is best to use a method of short infusions to fully enjoy the flavor and aroma of Eastern Beauty. Use 5 grams of tea for 100 ml of water. Use boiling water for maximum expressiveness and brightness of flavor. Be careful not to overbrew to avoid excessive astringency. Cool the water to 90 degrees if you prefer a softer, more floral-muscat character. This tea is best experienced in Gong Fu Cha, a tea ceremony with multiple infusions for a deeper appreciation of its aroma.
Let customers speak for us
from 50 reviewsim very satisfied with the cup, 😊 thanks
I bought Rou Gui Gao Shan at Tea Gallery, and it pleasantly surprised me with how it evolves over multiple infusions. By the third brew, the aroma becomes fuller and deeper, revealing a rich body with gentle sweetness, subtle berry notes, and light woody undertones. The classic Rou Gui profile—often associated with cinnamon-like spice, warm minerality, and a distinctive “rock” character (yan yun)—is present here as well, but in a smooth and well-balanced way. The aftertaste is long, with a refined balance between warmth and freshness. It’s the kind of tea that truly shines over extended sessions—perfect for long, relaxed evenings in good company.
This tea is honestly GOATed. We call it "endless / infinite tea", just because of HOW MUCH you can extract from it... With the right conditions and not too hot of a water, we've been genuinely drinking it for hours, and I feel like we never fully finished it... definitely worth it's money
Best tea place in Limassol 🔥
Прекрасный чай. Всем советую заглянуть в этот магазинчик.
Bought it as a gift to my dear friend, and he’s now the happiest man on earth. He rates it as “10 out of 5” and “every day I use it, and every day I’m happy”
Genuinely one of the best red teas I’ve ever tried. The texture, the aroma and the flavour is just outstanding. It is visually pleasing, lasts for many infusions, and a bit expensive
Очень приятный вкус, тонкий аромат, мягкое расслабление без сонливости
