Oolong Varietals

Making oolong teas requires selecting suitable plant varietals and precise leaf rolling and roasting techniques. These varietals and processing methods are native to Taiwan and China's Fujian province.

Da Hong Pao

Most famous of all Wuyi varietals is Da Hong Pao. Only a few original plants remain and have been closely guarded. Most other tea gardens in Wuyishan contain second and third generation strains of the Da Hong Pao plants.

Season

Although this tea is quite hardy and maintains its flavor well over time, it is best when enjoyed fresh in April and May.

Flavor Profile

Smooth taste, toasty cocoa aroma with hints of smokiness and ripe fruit. Makes a delicious iced tea.
