Rose Scented Beauty Tea is a floral oolong made from Meiren (also known as "Oriental Beauty") tea scented with premium double-petal roses from Pingyin County, Shandong—known as China’s “Hometown of Roses.” The base tea is grown in Sanming City, Fujian Province, at an average elevation of 1100 meters. Developed in cooperation with Taiwanese technologist in 1998, this tea is picked around the Dragon Boat Festival and must be naturally bitten by leafhoppers, which trigger the development of honeyed and fruity aromas.

The tea is made from the Jin Xuan Oolong cultivar and hand-picked as one bud with two leaves. After withering, shaking, and semi-oxidation (60–80%), the leaves are fixed, rolled, and dried into maocha. The rose scenting involves two scenting cycles (8–12 hours each) using fresh double-petal roses, followed by careful drying, refining, and sorting.

The finished tea appears in curled strips with visible white tips and five characteristic colors: red, yellow, white, green, and brown. The liquor is golden-amber, with a smooth texture and complex layers of honey, fruit, and fresh rose. It offers a lingering aftertaste and floral aroma that fills the empty cup.

For hot brewing, use 6g of tea in a gaiwan with 95°C water. First infusion: 10 seconds, second: 15 seconds, increasing steep time gradually. For cold brew, use 3g of tea in 330ml of mineral water and steep for 40 minutes.
