Red Phoenix Oolong
Red Phoenix Oolong
It has a rich and complex aroma featuring scents of gardenia, rose, lychee, and pineapple, with a concentrated mouthfeel. The tea liquor is delicate and suitable for pure drinking, while its rich and heavy texture pairs well with dishes that have stronger flavors.
One of our favorite varieties is the Da Ye Oolong, a specialty of the Taitung tea region, which is particularly well-suited for making high-oxidized oolong tea and red tea. Our partner, organic tea farmer and tea master Ming, is also a professional taster who believes that good tea garden management is essential for achieving excellent flavor. Under the terroir conditions of Taitung, the Da Ye Oolong thrives, producing red oolong with a unique aroma and charm.
When brewing the same pot of tea, one might experience the lingering aroma of black tea on the palate or the lasting oolong essence in the throat, which is precisely the fun of tasting Red Phoenix.
