More about Resting Tiger
The production method of Resting Tiger is Taiwan's earliest Oolong tea, which we call "Fan Zhu Oolong". It is made by a process of heavy withering, heavy stirring, and heavy oxidation, which allows the tea leaves to retain a sweet and ripe fruit aroma while still maintaining the full-bodied flavor of black tea. Taiwan's record of tea exports dates back to around 1865, when tea was exported through Western trading companies to foreign countries. At that time, Taiwanese people referred to Westerners as "Hong Mao Fan" (it means Red-haired Foreigner, and therefore, the exported tea was called "Fan Zhu Tea" or "Fan Zhu Oolong". This is also known as "Formosa Oolong Tea" in foreign markets.
Today, this traditional flavor has undergone some minor adjustments in the production process. The tea leaves are first processed into a semi-ball shape using a tong qiu machine(桶球機), and then precision-roasted to achieve a refined flavor.
