Gui Fei Oolong is a relatively new and rare oolong from Taiwan. Because of the big 1999 earthquake in Nantou, Dung Ding area, the tea plantations were left unattended while farmers and residents rebuilt their homes. A particular type of insect started to eat the tea leaves and chewed the edges of the leaves. The damage to leaves caused the tea bushes to react, resulting in a high sweetness in the finished tea, and a new tea was created.
