Long Guo Yun

Hong Yun (紅韻 - Taiwan tea No.21), which is one of the original black tea varieties in Taiwan, was picked after winter tea leaves (at the end of January, 2018.) After its leaves are picked, they were not produced as black tea but completed as highly fermented oolong tea. This tea was fermented like Dong Fang Meiren (Oriental Beauty) but it is different from black tea, meaning this tea is established as a completely new genre of tea. Its sweet fragrance is the best feature, and it is just like ripe Hong Long Guo (紅龍果 - Dragon fruit).

TASTING NOTES
A tea with a sweet, floral fragrance that fills your palate and nose with perfumed flavors and fragrances as you drink it. The tea has a slightly dry finish; its mood is reminiscent of autumn or a cold winter. It’s the perfect companion in cold, icy, windy, rainy weather. Ideally prepared after a brief rinse, starting with 95-degree Celsius water and 30-second infusions, gradually increasing the time of re-steeping.
