This Red Oolong Tea leaf consists of 1 bud and 2 leaves. The size of twig is smaller which indicates an early batch of harvesting. Crafted by skilled farmers, this oolong was skillfully hand-plucked and slowly batch-roasted over a bamboo charcoal pit for an unsurpassed flavour and aroma. The aroma of the dry leaves is nutty and slightly smokey. The liquor of the tea is a beautiful red, and the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and dried fruit.
