This smooth rich tea produces an intoxicating brew with honey-like sweetness and a silky mouthfeel. The flavor offers hints of spiced fruit. It is the best of both worlds, the enticing aroma and smooth flavor of oolong with a full body of the finest black teas. This tea is also amazing as a cold brew.
| Developed by the Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station, Red Oolong is a relatively new tea developed in 2008. The production process requires baking at 70°C for 8 hours and the tea is oxidized to 90%, making it very close to a black tea. Our Red Oolong is made from the Chin Shin Varietal and is grown in the Alishan tea area in Chiayi, Taiwan, which is 700-900 meters above sea level. |
