Where to Buy: Cameron Tea
Description
Region: MaioLi, Taiwan
Type: Oolong Tea
Cultivar: Chin Shin Dah Pan
Also know as: Dong Fang Mei Ren / White Tip Oolong / Bai Hao Oolong
Fermentation level: Medium
Taste: Floral aroma with sweet fruity and honey taste.

Terroir: Beipu is one of the most well-known Oriental Beauty growing areas in Taiwan. Located at altitude of 400m, tea trees grow on leeward side of hills with both high humidity and lots of sunlight which create ideal environment for attracting green leafhopper (Jacobiasca formosana). The bites of leafhoppers start the oxidation on the leaves which produce distinctive fruity and honey flavour.

Maple Cheesecake Tie Guan Yin from 52Teas . . . . .
This tea makes me want to use hip words like “yaaaaaaaaaaassss” and “slaaaay, queen.” It makes me want to actually USE my SnapChat account so I can post a picture of my mug and put, like, an overjoyed smiley on it and some sort of catchy phrase underneath. Maybe “tea on fleek”?
This tea comes in cute rolled-up little balls that remind me of hedgehogs when they’re all snuggled in. When you get them in the water, they majestically unfurl into pretty leaves.
The resulting taste is a vegetal, sweet, syruppy, ever-so-slightly nutty flavor. I’m not really getting cheesecake from it, but I’m definitely getting maple.
The tea’s gestalt is like maple dressing on a really tasty salad. And if maple salad dressing does not exist, I would like to claim credit for the idea and become a zillionaire off it.
(leaves) (returns) I just used Google. Someone’s already thought of it.
That’s okay. It was a good moment of optimism. I’ll just have to keep hoping my million-dollar idea is out there. Until then, I’ll happily sip down what remains of this sample.
Though this tea is not available on 52Teas’ site at the moment, you can achieve something similar here.
Happy healthy eating, Internet!

Ginger Lily Oolong from Tea Ave. . . . .
Tea Ave has some of the most NATURALLY AMAZING Oolongs I have ever tried. Recently I was luck enough to sample Ginger Lily Oolong by Tea Ave and I knew right away I just HAD to share my thoughts and feelings with you!
Ginger Lily Oolong by Tea Ave features an Alishan Jin Xuan Oolong base with low roasting and oxidation levels. It’s light, sweet, smooth, and somewhat earthy with a subtle ginger finish that gently lingers onto the aftertaste.
My mind was puzzled as I sipped on Ginger Lily Oolong by Tea Ave. How could this flavor happen to such a light oolong? Tea Ave’s Ginger Lily Oolong is prepared using the ancient method, in which the tea absorbs the flower fragrance during the baking progress. It then produces a scented tea that’s aromatic and flavorful without using any additives or chemicals.
It’s mild, soothing, refreshing, FRESH, and almost like experiencing SUMMER in a cup! Because I live in the snow belt area of the east coast of the US I always try to hang on to every bit of summer that I can. Ginger Lily Oolong by Tea Ave certainly helped me do that. Maybe not literally but at least in my dreams while sipping on this lovely tea!

Fenhuang Oolong from FooJoy. . . . .
To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever had Oolong. Maybe once in a restaurant, but it isn’t a tea that I buy or have on hand. After tasting this Fenghuang Oolong, I realize I need to change that!
Oolong tea is lighter than black tea, but darker than green. I read up on Oolong so I could give a better review, and apparently some are sweet and fruity, some are green and fresh, and some are thick and woody with a roasted aroma. This particular Oolong is definitely woody with a roasted aroma. I had it straight, no milk or sweetener. It really didn’t need anything. It was rich and had a deep roasted flavor that I really appreciated. I seriously couldn’t get enough!
Oolong is also very good for you! I was surprised to find out that it has calcium, selenium, and also lots of vitamins! It also helps improve skin and hair health, and also aids in digestion. The more I read about Oolong tea, the more I see I’ve been depriving myself of a delicious health tonic!
I truly can’t recommend this tea enough. Oolong has caffeine and can help with mental clarity which I need on a regular basis! I really would recommend everyone to try this delicious tea. It’s both stimulating and calming. It’s the perfect beverage to warm yourself up this winter!
