Singular Batch Traditional Oolong Tea | Labor Of Love Oolong

Singular Batch Traditional Oolong Tea | Labor Of Love Oolong

October 25, 2019

February 23, 2018

Red Oolong offers a smooth, balanced, mildly sweet, rich but not quite bold flavor profile, with elements of fruit compote, pumpkin pie, and a hint of dried flowers. This ultra-friendly character, combined with the fact that almost all Red Oolong is cultivated naturally on the southeast coast of Taiwan, facing the wide open Pacific, where the sky reminds a North American of the northern west coast, is no wonder why it is rapidly gaining popularity on the international market.
