This tea, which hails from Yunnan, China, has a smooth, lightly woody tone and both fruity and floral notes and a mellow undertone. It was named Oriental Beauty by Queen Elizabeth II, who was gifted the tea by the British businessman John Dodd after his return from a trip to Taiwan. When prepared in the traditional Chinese tea-brewing method of Gong Fu, it yields nuanced, interesting flavors that are not as discoverable when brewed in an infuser.
