Flavour
This highly aromatic Oriental Beauty opens with notes of rose and white grape, followed by magnolia and crisp apple in the mid-palate. The finish carries the elegant scent of gardenia layered with a soft honeyed sweetness.
The dry leaves show a striking mix of silver buds and dark, curled leaves in five distinct colors. Once infused, the liquor shines a warm golden hue, clear and radiant. The aroma is layered and vibrant, with shifting floral tones—rose, orchid, gardenia—intertwining through the session. These fragrances rise and recede with clarity and finesse, echoing the elegance for which this tea is named.
On the palate, the first sip is soft and silky with a bright, cooling edge. The middle steeps are lively and translucent, while the later infusions grow round and mellow, with a lasting sweetness that fills the mouth. The aftertaste is graceful and persistent, leaving floral notes and a refreshing sensation that lingers long after the cup is empty.
Brewing Recommendation
Single Cup
1. Rinse the cup with hot water.
2. Add 3 grams of tea into a 300ml glass cup.
3. Pour boiling water (100°C) to fill about one-third of the cup. Rinse the leaves briefly, then discard the rinse water.
4. Refill with hot water until it reaches about 1cm below the rim. Let steep for 2-3 minutes before drinking.
5. The tea can be re-infused once, with a slightly longer steeping time.
