OOLONG TEA TAIWAN
TAIDONG RED OOLONG 50g
Premium Oolong Tea from Nantou.Taiwan
Red Oolong is a special variety which undergoes high oxidation and develops very sweet aromas similar to high-quality black tea.
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 oxidation is about 80 %, which is clearly reflected in the taste. As a result, the tea not only has a comparatively dark cup colour, but also significantly more body, but without the astringency associated with black tea.
Instead, the finish reveals a sweetness typical of Oolong and a fruity aroma with light toasted notes.
