Overview
Best pick • solid oolong choice from Thailand
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Grown on ancient trees in Doi Wawee, a famous tea-producing village in Northern Thailand, this Ruby Oolong is harvested by a family that has cultivated oolong for over 35 years. Wawee has a rich history of tea farming that can be traced back to the 12th century, when ancient Bulang and Dai settlers planted tea seeds in this region. Ruby Oolong has a smooth texture, deep flavor and sweet fragrant notes of caramelized fruit and chocolate. One serving of this robust tea will yield several infusions, each with its own aromatic nuances to savor.
