Grown on the mist-covered slopes of Bagua Mountain and harvested during the winter season, this exceptional Red Oolong showcases the remarkable versatility of the Ying Xiang cultivar (Taiwan Tea No. 20). Occupying the space between a traditional Oolong and a black tea, Red Oolong offers a uniquely smooth and approachable character. Through careful oxidation and a gentle roast, the tea develops a rich aromatic profile while retaining the elegance and layered complexity for which Taiwanese teas are renowned. The amber-red liquor reveals inviting notes of ripe stone fruits, honey and sun-dried oranges, accompanied by subtle hints of caramel and warm spices. Its silky texture and natural sweetness create a harmonious cup that unfolds beautifully with each infusion, while a delicate roast adds warmth and depth without overwhelming the tea's vibrant fruit character. Equally rewarding when prepared gongfu style or brewed Western-style, this is a tea that effortlessly balances richness, elegance and drinkability.
