Organic Red Oolong
Mua Cha's Award-Winning Red Oolong | Artisanal Small-Leaf Tea
Nestled between the coastal mountains of Taitung, Taiwan, our Organic Red Oolong is the result of over twenty years of patience. Grown on land left fallow to recover its natural vitality, this tea is cultivated in a unique microclimate where warm Pacific breezes meet the mineral-rich soil and pure spring waters of the Central Mountain Range.
Hand-picked at Mr Li's esteemed Tea Farm, this red oolong represents a masterclass in oxidation. Unlike traditional oolongs, these small leaves undergo a meticulous heavy oxidation process, bridging the gap between the floral elegance of a classic oolong and the deep, honeyed richness of a black tea.
Rooted in a strictly natural philosophy, this tea is grown without a single drop of pesticides, herbicides, or growth hormones. Our farmers' commitment to hand-weeding and chemical-free soil management has earned this tea consecutive Gold medals at the Taiwan Organic Tea Selection and the prestigious 3-Star Great Taste Award, which is the highest honour in the culinary world.
In the cup, it reveals a luminous amber liquor with a complex, multi-layered bouquet. Expect an initial wave of sun-ripened stone fruit, reminiscent of wild peach and guava, melting into a long, velvety finish of toasted caramel and warm, woody sweetness.

Brewing Guide
Highly resilient and incredibly versatile. This tea is naturally resistant to over-steeping, maintaining its honeyed sweetness through multiple infusions. It is equally exceptional as a warm, meditative steep or as a refreshing, cold-brewed tonic that highlights its vibrant fruity notes.
