Experience the innovation and tradition of Eastern Taiwan with an award winning Red Oolong by Taitung Tea Association. Despite its reddish hue, this tea surprises with a classic oolong flavor profile, representing the highest level of oxidation among Taiwanese oolongs.
Since its debut in Taiwan in 2008, in just over a decade, Red Oolong Tea has established a deep connection with black tea and oolong tea, albeit being relatively new.
This "young" tea has captivated the sophisticated palates of many seasoned tea connoisseurs in Taiwan, proving it has something exceptional to offer.
Firstly, in terms of processing, Taiwanese Red Oolong Tea adheres to the classic methods of Taiwanese oolong tea production but innovatively incorporates the heavy fermentation process of black tea. By extending the fermentation time during the rolling process, it develops a unique "heavy withering, heavy fermentation" characteristic.
As a result, the appearance of Taiwanese Red Oolong Tea is a classic semi-ball shape, while the color of the tea soup is a deeper red compared to typical oolong teas, resembling the amber-red brilliance of traditional Lapsang Souchong black tea.
Secondly, what makes it truly remarkable is that despite over 70% heavy fermentation, resulting in an orange-red liquor, the tea still retains the distinctively sweet, rich, and refreshing flavor of oolong tea, fully embodying the essence of oolong tea charm.
