Biosia Oriental Beauty
Biosia Oriental Beauty
Ban Bo, Tam Duong, Lai Chau
No tea speaks the Tam Duong region more than “Oriental Beauty”. The buildup of micronutrients in Lai Chau province is perfect for the growth of Jin Xuan tea tree variety, making the brew sweeter and smoother. The secret to this tea is the introduction of green leafhoppers before picking, which provokes the tree’s natural defenses, releasing compounds that create Oriental Beauty’s addicting taste: honeyed, caramel, with hints of straw and hay.
It’s best not to overbrew. Instead, steep each batch for 2 to 3 times. The color of the brew is a good indicator if you can’t get the correct timing and temperature, and it’s beautiful to look at to boot! Especially if you have glassware. There will be greater depth of flavor and scent when you let the tea cool down a few minutes.
