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!

Excellent tea, speedy inexpensive delivery
Red oolong is something new for me, had never heard of it until recently when I was reading some random article about woman-owned tea farms). This tea is good. Like a sophisticated lizhihong if that means anything to you. Great discovery.
