Red Oolong
Raspberry | Caramel | Cacao
Grown in the rolling mountains of Luye, Taiwan, Red Oolong is a contemporary and innovative tea that undergoes around 80% oxidation, placing it between traditional oolong and black tea. Hand-harvested and medium roasted, it blends heritage with modern craftsmanship.
This tea brews into a deep amber liquor with ruby undertones, offering rich notes of raspberry, caramel, and roasted cacao, with a gentle touch of warm spice. The result is a smooth, full-bodied cup with a velvety texture and a lingering natural sweetness.
Bold, warm, and fruit-forward, Red Oolong is both robust and refined, perfect for those who love the depth of black tea with the nuance of oolong. A standout tea that bridges tradition and innovation in every sip.
