Organic Honey Fragrance Oolong Tea

Artisan Introduction | About This Tea

Red Water Oolong | Classic Honey‑Aroma Oolong

This is a classic work representing the spirit of Taiwanese oolong tea, inheriting the memory of Formosa’s century‑long tea fragrance, allowing history and flavor to meet again.

🌺 Taiwanese Specialty Flavor

This product uses one of Taiwan’s oldest tea‑tree varieties — Wuyi‑lineage tea cultivar. The leaves are relatively green and undergo longer withering and fermentation, combined with traditional roasting techniques, creating the “Red Water Oolong” with rich honey aroma and a bright red liquor. This deeply fermented honey‑aroma oolong is one of the most representative vintage flavors of Taiwanese tea.

✨ Flavor Description:

• Rich body, full‑bodied, lingering sweetness
• Floral aroma, fruity notes, ripe apple nuance
• Round honey aroma, delicate sweet aftertaste

📦 Formosa Tea’s Century‑Long Flavor Heritage

The flavor of this tea originates from the golden era of the mid‑late 19th century to early 20th century when Taiwanese tea was first exported to Europe and America and became a sensation in New York. At that time, “Formosa Oolong” became the synonym for top‑grade oolong in Western markets, highly praised.

🛳️ Characteristics of Taiwanese tea exported to New York at that time:

• Medium‑to‑high fermentation plus roasting (very similar to today’s Red Water Oolong)
• Intense honey aroma: naturally farmed; bites from tiny green leafhoppers create a natural honey scent
• Fruit and ripe sweetness: layers of apple, dried longan, jujube aromas intertwine
• Bright red liquor, non‑astringent, strong lingering sweetness
• Full, round mouthfeel: gentle flavor, classic and easy to enjoy repeatedly

🏛️ 19th‑Century Praise

"Exquisite aroma, honey‑sweet with a mellow finish... a tea of unmatched elegance."

The delicate fragrance, honey‑sweet smoothness, and long‑lasting aftertaste are precisely what made Formosa tea stand out on the world stage.
