Luyeh Red is a premium red oolong tea from Taiwan, handcrafted on a sustainably managed farm in the southeast region. This tea is known for its unique, sweetly aromatic flavor profile with notes of wild forest honey, dried apricots, roast carob, and peat smoke.
The leaves undergo a rich oxidation process similar to black tea and are lightly roasted to enhance their distinct flavor. The tea is made by Mr. Lin, who transitioned from construction to tea farming, cultivating his land over years.
The leaves are hand-shaped and rolled to release more complex flavors. The tea pairs well with umami-rich dishes, mature cheeses, and oily fish.
