Formosa Bai Hao is known by many names - Oriental Beauty, White Tip Oolong, Champagne oolong, and Fancy Formosa Silver Tip, to name just a few. This heavily oxidized Taiwanese tea is one of the most prized oolongs in the world. Incredibly sweet, fruity and lush with a delicate warm spicy undertone. Striking and thought-provoking tea, perfect for multiple infusions.

Lore

A white tippy oolong of incredible complexity, Formosa Bai Hao (aka Oriental Beauty) is a heavily oxidized oolong (about 80%) that renders the leaves a beautiful reddish color following its extensive withering time. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident in the dry leaf. Infused, the tea proffers multiple infusions of a juicy fruitiness that caresses the palate as the fragrance echoes a summer peach. Provide a slight 30 second rinse then brew in your gaiwan to get the most out of them. Don’t be stingy; pack in those leaves for the ultimate taste sensation. An oolong to cherish.

When the directions say 2 heaping teaspoons per cup, what size mug does that assume? I pour ~16 oz of water on the leaves per steeping.
