From Red Blossom Tea Company

In mid-April 2007, we drove two hours with our Spring harvest Tung Ting to a 72 year old master tea roaster. We were in search of traditional tea roasting methods using longan fruit wood and ash-lined charcoal pits. We found it in septuagenarian Mr. Chen.

Our Charcoal Roasted Tung Ting is mid-fired using longan fruit wood on racks set over ash-lined pits.

Roasted in intervals allows the tea to develop a rich complexity. Using mid-oxidized, more robust tea as a starting point gives the tea a pronounced caramelized sweetness.

I love this tea made strong, so the second steep is longer. This is my ‘wake-up’ tea on those cool mornings. Very smooth roast.

This is by far my favourite roasted Oolong tea, the first steep is excelent. somewhat strong, but with each steep you can really taste the Charcoal. This is a tea i will probably continue to drink for a very long time
