Our Red Oolong comes from Zhu Shan, Nantou, Taiwan, and is a relatively “new” tea– the method used to cultivate and process this tea was first developed in 2008. It features a rich,
chocolaty, fruity, and earthy flavor.

Insider Tip: Darker oolongs tend to have a soft, fruity character with undertones of stone fruit. Greener oolongs offer a more green infusion with a more floral character.

Caffeine Level: Medium

Learn More: Oolong teas are commonly known as partially oxidized because the oxidation allowed in processing varies between green and black tea. Varying between 30-70% oxidation, oolongs are produced in two main varieties: a darker, open-leafed style (such as our Honey Orchard Dan Cong) and a greener, rolled-ball style. Darker oolongs tend to have a soft, fruity character with undertones of stone fruit. Greener oolongs offer a more green infusion with a more floral character.
