Taitung Red Oolong
A beautiful batch of single origin, red oolong from Luye, Taitung, Taiwan
This imperial grade red oolong is incredibly fruity and is one of my favourite teas in my collection
It's produced by an internationally acclaimed Taiwanese oolong company that has been around for over 140 years
The quality is so high it can take boiling water and basically never be bitter
