Ruby Oolong 紅寶石烏龍

The Ruby Oolong is a vibrant new addition to our prized collection, showcasing some of the more contemporary and innovative techniques in the world of oolong teas. Grown in the lofty mountains of Chiayi, Taiwan, the Ruby’s high elevation infuses each brew with a soft, silky mouthfeel. After Ruby’s leaves are skillfully twisted and dried, they are rehydrated for a secondary oxidation process. Like the natural ripening of fruit, this process imparts a more layered flavor profile. The Ruby Oolong offers a tantalizing sensory experience, beginning with the robust fragrance of tropical fruit that precedes the first sip of tea. With succulent, citrusy notes of guava and a smooth, lingering finish, the Ruby Oolong promises an unforgettable tasting journey.
