Dongfang (Oriental Beauty)
This tea has an interesting origin. When people first tried to grow it in Taiwan its leaves were gnawed round by local insects. Those insects live only in Taiwan. People were going to through tea away, but then they managed to sell some tea to European merchants. They were amazed when the merchants came back and bought all the remaining tea. It turned out that the leaves which were gnawed by insects added an unusual sweet honey taste. They say that it is the favorite tea of English Queen.
