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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e For strip-shaped oolong, try brewing at around 90°C to gently bring out its delicate floral and honeyed character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew to oolong?
