What's the difference between Oriental Beauty Tea and Black Tea?

Oriental Beauty Tea-unique fruity aroma

Bai Hao Oolong, which is known as "Oriental Beauty" by Western tea drinkers, was bought by the Japanese at a high price and sent back to the countryside during the Japanese occupation, but the villagers did not believe it and felt that it was exaggerated, so it was also known as "inflated tea." it is mainly produced in Emei Township and Pei Po, Hsinchu. What is special about Oriental Beauty Tea is that an insect called Little Green leafhopper bites tea, which has a special honey fruit aroma when used to make tea. It is also called "Taizi flavor" in Minnan dialect. Wu Deliang said that only Oriental Beauty and Darjeeling black tea in India have this special honey fruit aroma, so they are loved by tea lovers.

The tea soup of Oriental Beauty Tea is red, orange, golden and amber.

Black tea-glycol is not astringent

A hundred years ago, Taiwan used native lobular varieties to make black tea, but it didn't taste good until the Japanese introduced Indian Assam big leaf tea to grow in Nantou Fish Pond, and after improvement, it became Taiwan Tea No. 8, which is not inferior to Indian black tea. It is also known as Riyuetan black tea. In recent years, Taiwan tea No. 18, also known as "red jade black tea", cultivated from Taiwan wild tea and Burmese big leaf black tea, will have natural cinnamon and mint aromas after brewing. Hualien and Taitung tea bitten by small green tea cicadas, honey-scented black tea, because of its honey-like sweet smell, is also very popular in the market.

Zuo / Hongyu black tea: the tea is dark amber, with cinnamon and a hint of mint aroma, rich layers of tea, smooth in the mouth and sweet aftertaste.

Right / honey black tea: with a special ripe fruit aroma, the tea is bright reddish brown, the taste is not astringent, and has a hint of honey flavor.

Taiwan green tea-elegant and sweet

Because of the way green tea is made, it can be divided into "fried green tea" and "steamed green tea". Taiwan green tea belongs to fried green tea, such as Longjing and Biluochun, and Japanese Green Tea and matcha, which are commonly known, belong to steamed green tea. The green tea of the three Gorges is very popular because it imitates Chinese Longjing and Biluochun tea, and uses the unique local "Qingxin Citrus seed" to make tea, which satisfies the army and people who were used to drinking fried green tea and retreating to Taiwan, and has also become the main producing area of green tea.

Is PLUS Pu'er Taiwan tea?

Pu'er tea is usually made from Yunnan big leaf species in Yunnan, China, and has been "aged" for decades, while Yunnan big leaf species are found only in Yunnan, and there is no such tree species in Taiwan. Therefore, the Pu'er tea we drink now is made from tea trees planted in Yunnan. Because the origin of Pu'er tea was Pu'er Prefecture in Yunnan Province (the cash city of Pu'er) during the Qing Dynasty, it was generally known as "Pu'er tea".
