A heavily oxidized tea from Taidong, this Red Oolong is a real treat.
Rich, sweet rose and other floral flavors pour out of its earthy red tones. Please keep in mind that this tea is not roasted!
The flavor and color comes from a longer oxidization process than most other oolongs.
The perfect mix of black and oolong teas!
Roasty with some earthern notes supplemented by a floral almost honey-like sweetness. Easy to drink but makes you come back for more.
