Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea

After doing some research I found that this tea dates back from the end of the 19th century, when Taiwan started exporting its Oolong teas overseas. At that time, tea was mostly harvested at low altitude in northern Taiwan. The legend has it that the Queen of England named it "Oriental Beauty" after she had it the first time. This tea has been my favorite of the teas I have purchased in taiwan. It has both a sweet smell and also a nice sweet taste.
