Origin: Luye, Taitung, Taiwan
Elevation: 250-450m
Oxidation: ⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿
Lightly roasted
A new Red Oolong sourced from 3rd-generation tea farmers in Luye, Taitung, Taiwan, this version has a distinctly fruity flavour.
Why we love it:
- It is minimally bug-bitten for a slight honey flavour.
- It is made with an Wuyi cultivar 武夷茶, brought from Wuyishan centuries ago and now localised in Taiwan.
- It is made with newly developed processing techniques which stray from traditional Red Oolong methods. This version is more heavily oxidised with a lighter roast than other Red Oolongs, to let its fruity apple flavour shine through.
- It is produced at the end of October - the first winter batch. This farm practices "friendly harvesting", with 4-5 harvests a year: two in spring, one in autumn and two in winter, resting in summer.
Compare it with other teas from the same farm:
- Red Oolong 1 - Floral
- Red Oolong 3 - Classic
