Red Oolong Tea, known as "Hong Oolong(紅烏龍)," is a distinctive Taiwanese oolong that bridges the gap between traditional oolong and black tea, celebrated for its rich, robust flavor and deep, inviting aroma. Grown in the scenic coastal region of Taitung, this tea benefits from the area’s warm, humid climate and fertile, mineral-rich soils. The Qing Xin Oolong(青心烏龍) cultivar, prized for its delicate yet versatile character, is processed with a higher degree of oxidation than most oolongs. 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.

Red Oolong is renowned for its bold yet balanced profile, offering a harmonious blend of floral, fruity, and roasted flavors. The higher oxidation level imparts a depth reminiscent of black tea, while retaining the smooth, layered complexity of oolong. This tea is a favorite among those who appreciate a fuller-bodied oolong with a lingering, comforting warmth, perfect for savoring during contemplative moments or sharing with friends.
