🎎 Excellent Craftsmanship

Our tea is unique from the moment we select the varieties. Experienced tea masters watch the tea leaves and make them. The careful picking and rolling techniques give this red oolong a unique and petite ball shape, which is obviously smaller than those sold on the market.

“There’s something about red oolong that speaks directly to the soul — rich, smooth, and quietly bold. The first time I tasted this tea, I was captivated by its deep amber color and the mellow fragrance of ripe fruit and wild honey. It’s unlike any oolong I’ve ever had — fully oxidized like a black tea, yet still carrying the elegance and layered sweetness of traditional oolongs.
Every cup feels like a slow walk through the late autumn hills — comforting, complex, and full of warmth. Whether hot or cold brewed, the flavor lingers beautifully, never bitter, always inviting. It’s become a daily ritual, a quiet luxury I return to again and again.
This red oolong isn’t just tea — it’s an experience, a story in a cup. And once you’ve tried it, you’ll never want to be without it.”
