The Most Wanted
Alishan + Dong Ding + Oriental Beauty + Glass Faircup + 2 Glass Tea Cups (Limited Release)
Three signature Taiwanese oolongs worth getting to know.
Three very different teas, each with its own character. The fresh, floral Alishan, the warm and toasty Dong Ding, and the honeyed, legendary Oriental Beauty. We've brought them together with a glass faircup and two tea cups for a proper Taiwanese tea experience.
What's inside The Most Wanted
1. Alishan Oolong 70g
Bright and floral, with a lingering aroma. One of Taiwan's most celebrated high-mountain oolongs, Alishan has a fresh, clean taste with delicate floral sweetness. Light and refreshing, yet layered enough to keep you coming back for another brew.
2. Dong Ding Oolong 65g
Taiwan's quintessential heritage oolong. A gentle roast brings out Dong Ding's signature toasty aroma, balanced by rich sweetness and a smooth, warm finish.
If you're usually reaching for filter coffee or roasted tea, Dong Ding might feel familiar. Think toasted flavours, hints of caramel and a comforting finish, with a little more complexity.
3. Oriental Beauty 30g
Also known as Bai Hao Oolong, this distinctive Taiwanese tea brews a luminous amber-red cup with notes of honey and ripe fruit, followed by a lingering natural sweetness. Aromatic, smooth and full of character, it's one that's hard to forget.
The story behind Oriental Beauty
Before harvest, the leaves are gently bitten by tiny leafhoppers. In response, the plant triggers a natural defense mechanism, releasing aromatic compounds to attract the insect’s natural predators. This biological reaction transforms the leaf’s chemistry, removing bitterness and replacing it with a signature honeyed sweetness.
This process can’t be forced. Because leafhoppers only appear under specific conditions, growers must avoid pesticides entirely, making each harvest small and unpredictable. It’s an accidental beauty, shaped by nature rather than design. Legend has it that this highly expressive tea was later served to British royalty, who admired its elegant character and named it Oriental Beauty.
4. Minimal Glass Faircup 160ml
Made from high-grade borosilicate glass, this lightweight, durable and heat-resistant faircup is ideal for Gongfu-style brewing, including with boiling water.
With a 200ml capacity, it's a comfortable size for everyday brewing and sharing tea. The clear glass catches the light beautifully, while the clean rim and sharp spout make pouring smooth and easy.

Our oolong
We source our teas directly from fifth-generation tea makers in Taiwan, with tea-making knowledge passed down since 1880.
We taste every tea we sell and select them in small batches, so there’s always something we’re genuinely excited to share.
The origin
Taiwan is one of the world's most important oolong-producing regions.
Its mountains, misty climate and rich soils create the conditions for growing tea with depth and variety. From high-mountain oolongs to traditional roasted teas, Taiwan has developed a tea culture all its own.
Oolong Tea 101
We know trying gongfu-style brewing and learning more about tea can feel a little intimidating. We’ve been there, and that’s why we’re preparing a Oolong Tea 101 Tea Table at our studio.
We’ll cover the basics of brewing with a gaiwan and Chinese teapot, some tea knowledge and science, how to taste and notice the differences between each brew, and how to choose the right oolong for your palate.
By the end, you’ll have more confidence brewing oolong your way and a better idea of what you like.
