Definition: Oriental Beauty Oolong is a lower elevation oolong with a pronounced, honey-sweet stonefruit taste. Some say this taste is the result of the tea plant's reaction to a small insect that munches on the leaves. It is moderately oxidized and usually has large, full leaves spiked with silvery buds.
