Incredible, little bit crazy hong oolong from east side of Taiwan.

Hong Oolong – highly oxidized and rolled oolong was designed by TRES in 2008 and successfully introduced in east part of Taiwan, pollution and industry free area of Taidong.

This tea comes from natural garden and it was made using “Wuyi” cultivar.

Refreshing, sour and light bodied tea. High acidity is usually considered as a fault, but here, mr. Lin wanted to produce tea with similar taste profile to famous suan mei tang drink made from dried (sometimes smoked) sour plums.

When tasting this hong oolong, you will easily find notes of sour plums, butter cookies, milk chocolate, dried strawberries, cream and wood.

You will love or hate that tea.

So we suggest to order samples first (14 and 30g samples available)

    Wet leaf has a toasted aroma – the first steep is surprisingly smooth with a creamy finish. Mouth watering mixture of sour fruits and minerality, reminiscent of a yancha but fruitier and lighter.
