Loose-Leaf Bai Hao (Oriental Beauty) from Tillerman Tea
This photo shows the leaf of oriental beauty oolong; this is a particularly high-quality batch with wholly-intact leaves. Note the range of color in the leaf; although much of it is very dark, like a black tea (darker than most oolongs), there are also numerous silvery buds that, in isolation, look more like a white tea than anything else. Also notice the lighter-brown leaves in the mix.
The range of oxidation in this type of tea is somewhat similar to the range of oxidations in some Darjeeling teas, which is one of several factors leading these teas to have some qualities in common aromatically.
