Oriental Beauty Dark

Oriental Beauty Dark is built around one of the world's most fascinating teas — a Taiwanese oolong whose distinctive flavour comes not from the farmer's technique, but from an insect.

Oriental Beauty (東方美人) is a heavily oxidised non-roasted oolong made famous by a biological quirk: the tea leaves are bitten by small leafhoppers, triggering a chemical defence response in the plant that produces the tea's characteristic perfumy, honey-like aroma. It cannot be artificially replicated. The complexity — layers of honey, stone fruit, flowers, and woodiness — is entirely natural.

Fossa pairs this tea with floral, malty Ecuadorian cacao from the Hacienda Limon estate, creating a 62% dark chocolate that is aromatic, nuanced, and completely dairy-free. The cacao's natural fruitiness mirrors and amplifies the tea's character without overpowering it.

For tea lovers, this is an extraordinary bar. For craft chocolate enthusiasts, it demonstrates the range of what single-ingredient infusions can achieve at this level.

Tasting notes: Complex floral honey aroma, stone fruit, and a creamy dark chocolate mouthfeel.
