ORIGIN

From east of Taiwan, this honey oolong is highly oxidised and slightly baked. Red oolong uses a process that is a cross between making oolong and black tea with a oxidation at about 70-90%.

CULTIVATION AND PROCESSING

The tea plants used to make this tea are grown without pesticides to bio-dynamically encourage the jassid, a type of grasshopper to feed on its leaves, which helps impart a subtle, sweet flavour into the tea.

This tea has a forest honey sweetness with hints of berries.

TEA BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

• To make an optimum tea, we recommend using a glass or porcelain vessel.
• For a 300 ml mug, place about 3g of tea into an infuser and brew with hot water. Each serving can be brewed 3-4 times. Temp of brewing: 95° C. Time: 2-4 min
