Luye Red Oolong 

**The Winter 2023 growing season in Luye was cold and dry creating some great growing conditions. Winter 2023 Luye Red is gorgeous!**

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!

Great no-fuss drinker

This is a rich, mellow, and unfussy red oolong. I often bring this tea to work and on trips with me because it brews well under pretty much all conditions and has good longevity. I woudl definitely recommend adding some to your next order.

Chocolate dipped raspberries

The flavor on this oolong is INSANE. Dark raspberries and strawberry jam with dark chocolate on that sweet, buttery oolong base. A bed of rose petals and wine on the scent. A bit of the black tea maltyness holds it down.
Extra tiny oolong balls unfurl into big, well processed leaves. I refill the pot again and again and drink all morning. Happy to find this flavor from a fair and organic source, I will keep it stocked!

Rose and Honey

This tea, I keep it for special occasions with special people. It is always surprising when brewing, first of all the smell of the hot wet leaves, just like smelling caramel roses…
