Red Oolong

Flavor Profile: fresh baked pastries, warm spices, persimmon Production Area: Mộc Châu, Sơn La, Việt Nam Harvest: December 2024 Our #1 bestselling tea - and for good reason. The quality of some Vietnamese oolongs has increased significantly in recent years due to adopting plant cultivars, techniques and expertise from Taiwan. The Red Oolong is a great example of what came out of this collaboration. Produced on a 33 hectare farm on the rolling Mộc Châu plateau, the Red Oolong has an attractive amber liquor and deep flavors like dried persimmons and freshly baked pastries A longer steep brings out beautiful warm spice notes like cinnamon. The initial sun-drying process right after harvesting, and extended drying and rolling cycle to tease out the tea's flavors are one of the many factors that make this tea special. We're not surprised that the Red Oolong is one of our bestsellers!  How to Prepare Amount of Tea: 5 g / 2 tsp Volume of Water: ~118 ml / 4 oz Water Temperature: 205°F / ~96°C Brewing Time: ~1 min
