Red Oolong (Hong Oolong) 紅烏龍

Red oolong, also known as black oolong or dark oolong, is a type of oolong tea that has been heavily oxidized, giving it a darker color and a richer, more complex flavor than traditional oolongs. It is sometimes referred to as a "half-fermented" tea because it undergoes a longer oxidation process than oolongs but not as long as black teas.

The longer oxidation process gives red oolong a distinct flavor profile, with notes of honey, caramel, and roasted nuts. It also gives the tea a reddish-brown color and a rich, full-bodied texture.

Red oolong is a relatively rare and specialized tea, and it is primarily produced in Taiwan. It is known for its potential health benefits, which may include improved digestion, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Overall, red oolong is a unique and flavorful tea that offers a departure from traditional oolongs and black teas. Its complex flavor profile and potential health benefits make it a popular choice among tea enthusiasts looking for something new and interesting to try.
