A great tea unanimously recommended by the Luye Red Oolong Tea experts!
The tea that best captures the elegant flavor unique to Luye Red Oolong Tea!

Refreshing tea liquor with the fragrance of flowers, young leaves and soft ripe fruit. The rich and elegant taste feels as smooth as a waltz. The rare honey flavor is an absolute miracle that happened in a corner of the Luye tea plantations. After carefully selecting the precious leaves partially eaten by tea green leafhoppers from the vast plantation, the tea makers use sophisticated techniques to gently draw out the refreshing natural honey flavor. With the blessing of nature, the flavor of Red Oolong becomes even more fascinating. Take a sip, and the elegant combination of honey flavor and integrated toasty notes will fill the nostrils and please the palate. The long finish is like the sun shining through the foggy forest in Luye.

▧ Editor’s Recommendation ▧
The aroma, liquor and color are well balanced. The clear liquor as well as the soft and delicate taste gives one a feeling of peace and tranquility. Having both the elegance of oolong tea and the rich sweetness of partly fermented tea, it is suitable for those who like elegant aromas and value taste.

Place of Origin

Red Oolong Tea was created in Luye, Taitung, in 2008. The process of making Red Oolong matches perfectly with the altitude, terrain and natural conditions of Luye. Because of its sweet aroma and taste, apart from tea lovers, it has also gained popularity among young people in recent years. With a degree of fermentation close to black tea, Red Oolong is the most fermented tea among all in the oolong category. However, it still retains the fixation process of oolong tea and uses the dark roasting technique, giving the Red Oolong its amber red color and sweet finish.
