Purple Indo from Remedy Teas

Steepster Score 1 Rating Rate This Tea

79/100

Purple Indo

Oolong Tea by Remedy Teas

Pure heavily oxidized oolong from Indonesia. This aged rare oolong gets ooohs and ahhs from exotic tea hunters. 99% oxidized darkness produces rich toasty tea with purplish brews. Enjoy handrolled leaves unfurling with each smoky sweet infusion.

This tea has interested me since I saw it on Remedy Teas list over a year ago. I finally got a chance to drink some today.

It was worth the wait. A really interesting flavor profile. First, we have the usual oolong thing going on and despite being heavily oxidized, the tea retains a vegetal note—the first word that came to my mind was bean-sprouts. At the same time the tea contains a good bit of musky, nuttiness that I think most tea drinkers will appreciate. All these flavors are in balance with a slightly sweet overtone.

I easily got 3 steeps out of it. Get some if you can. The color alone is worth it.
