This Oolong tea is from Taitung county on the South Eastern Coast of Taiwan and is a specialty of it's county. It is made using a method called 'canvas ball rolling' which gives the tea its distinct smooth ball shape. The tea is allowed to oxidise to around 70% oxidation, with a high fire bake finish. A darker oolong than many, the tea leaves closely resemble a black tea, with a distinct reddish hue. It is a medium to full bodied tea with overall sweet stone fruit notes and roasted nuts.
