Honey oolong only have came mainstream in 1999 just right after that destructive earthquake that hit Taiwan in September of that year. Many of the tea farmers among other businesses have been impacted negatively. some high mountain tea farmers and producers have visited Hsinchu county and studied how Oriental beauty oolong was farmed and produced. Shortly after that, High mountain oolong producers started to craft their teas in a method that somehow resembles a Oriental beauty - Dong ding hybrid tea process that created this delicious honey sweet floral, with a hint of brown sugar Oolong Tea
