Some more research after my post yesterday which supports this post.

This Chinese site says it was Queen Victoria not Elizabeth. This
Chinese site is as representative as any on Oriental Beauty aka
Eastern Beauty aka DongFengMeiRen aka BaiHao Wulong aka PongFong.

The Red Box says DongFengMeiRen (Oriental Beauty) and has a picture of
the leaves which matches mine from several sources. Nothing like I
saw in the shoppe.

This site mentions a Darjeeling taste and confusion over which Queen.
The dry and wet leaf matches mine. My infused leaf is a little more
darker red.
