Tasting notes
Strong aromatics of rose hips and straw flowers, with a clean and sweet aftertaste. The cup character is warm and invitingly pleasant, but the aromas are what make this tea unique.

Origin notes
Shin-Fong produces this lovely example of a unique red tea which is something of a novelty. The natural floral notes of Taiwanese high mountain 'terroir' come through the excellent execution of an oolong styled tea. What makes it unique is the full oxidation which provides a beautiful amber hued red liquor and warmth in the cup profile of gentle honey and caramel tones.
