2 stories about
"Oriental Beauty Tea. "
There is a beautiful legend about
“Oriental Beauty Tea.” One English
merchant presented Pekoe tea to the
Queen of England. The Queen liked its
wonderful flavor and admired its
beautiful golden-brown appearance.
Knowing that the tea was produced in
the
East "Formosa" Taiwan, the Queen
named it "Oriental Beauty Tea."
Pekoe Oolong was originally called
"inflated tea", because no one thought the
ugly tea leaves could make such a beautiful
and tasty tea. During the Japanese
occupation era; one Beipu merchant
reportedly sold the tea to a Taipei Governor
at a very high price (100 pounds for 2000
NT$ or ¥ 6750). When the people in Emei
heard the news, no one believed it and
laughed at this tea! Later this tea became
known as “Peng Feng” Tea which means
“to brag” in Taiwanese.
