Red Taitung Oolong

A more oxidised Taiwanese oolong with a fuller body, natural sweetness and a harmonious profile. Suitable for businesses that want to offer a tea between an elegant oolong and a lighter black tea.

Character and use

Red Taitung Oolong represents a fuller and more oxidised style of Taiwanese oolong, combining the smoothness typical of oolongs with a stronger body and deeper flavour expression. This makes it highly versatile and appealing to a wider range of guests.

The infusion is typically harmonious, rounded and naturally sweeter, with gentle notes of honey, dried fruit and light spice. Compared with lighter floral oolongs, it feels fuller, while still retaining clarity and good drinkability.

It fits well into the offer of businesses that want a tea with more depth, without moving directly into heavier or very dark black teas.

Depending on availability, a less roasted variant can also be offered for businesses that prefer a lighter, fresher and less rounded profile.
