Brandy Oolong, Ruby 18 – Highly Oxidized Taiwanese Ruby 18 Oolong for Wholesale

Brandy Oolong, Ruby 18 is fast becoming one of Taiwan's most treasured teas and is joining the ranks of famous Taiwanese oolongs such as Tung Ting, Jade Oolong and Aged Oolong. It is highly oxidized, at roughly 85 to 90% but not fully, and is crafted using traditional Taiwanese oolong methods. It is a standout choice for specialty tea shops and cafes seeking a rich, distinctive oolong.

The rich amber color of the leaves and the deep hue of the liquor give this oolong its "brandy" name. Once steeped, the tea turns a dark amber with heady, roasted aromas of caramelized honey and stone fruit. The flavor is layered and complex, with deep, dark honey, sweet cinnamon-like notes and refreshing, cooling minty undertones that come from the famous Ruby 18 cultivar. It offers the richness of a black tea combined with the complexity and smoothness of a fine oolong, and it is never bitter, finishing with an excellent lingering sweetness. Gongfu-style service brings out its evolving honey and fruit notes over multiple infusions, while teapot service works well for an afternoon offering.
