Honey Red Oolong

2026 Honey Red Oolong 蜜香紅烏龍

Raisin | Raspberry Leaf | Caramel

Grown in Luye, Taitung, in southeastern Taiwan, this distinctive oolong is shaped by warm breezes and the natural presence of leafhoppers, which contribute to its signature honeyed character. Carefully crafted with deeper oxidation, it bridges the space between oolong and black tea, developing a rich, expressive profile while remaining smooth and approachable.

This tea brews into a resinous red-amber liquor with a medium-bodied, malty texture. Expect rounded notes of raisin and caramel, lifted by a gentle herbal nuance of raspberry leaf and a soft, lingering sweetness.

Comforting, mellow, and easy to enjoy, Honey Red Oolong offers a balanced, honeyed depth with a smooth, satisfying finish, perfect for both casual sipping and quiet, reflective moments.
