Red Oolong Tea, known as "Hong Oolong(紅烏龍)," is a distinctive Taiwanese oolong developed in Taitung. Its production combines high oxidation with the shaping and roasting techniques associated with Taiwanese oolong. It remains an oolong tea, despite its deep colour and some flavour characteristics that may remind drinkers of black tea.

Red Oolong is known for its reddish-orange liquor, ripe-fruit aroma and rounded, mellow texture. Roasting can add warm, toasted notes and greater depth.

This involves careful withering, rolling, and a prolonged oxidation process, followed by a skillful roasting that enhances its warm, toasty notes and deep amber hue. The result is a tea that embodies Taitung’s unique terroir and Taiwan’s mastery of tea craftsmanship.

• Each serving can be re-steeped 2–3 times, allowing you to explore the tea’s evolving layers of flavor, for a total of 32–48 cups.

Flavor Note

• Aroma: A warm and inviting blend of roasted nuts, caramelized sugar, and dried fruit, with undertones of wildflowers, baked bread, and a hint of earthy spice.
• Taste: The liquor is a deep, amber-red, clear and radiant. It delivers a smooth, full-bodied texture with a rich, sweet taste, featuring notes of ripe stone fruit, honey, and a subtle roasted warmth. A gentle astringency provides structure, balancing the tea’s inherent sweetness.
• Finish: A long, satisfying finish with a touch of sweet malt and a lingering floral aftertaste, leaving a warm and comforting sensation that invites another sip.
