Ruby Red Tea (紅玉紅茶) & Oolong Tea(烏龍茶) 

Harvest Time 

Tea harvesting in different seasons affects tea quality.  Tea quality will depend on the growing temperatures, amount of sun, and quantity of water.  Oolong can grow in all 4 seasons but yields higher quality tea when grown in low temperatures. Thus, Oolong tea harvested in the winter has the best quality compared to other seasons’ tea.

Our Organic QingXin Oolong Tea is a lightly roasted tea. Most people love Organic QingXin Oolong Tea because it is aromatic with honey and fruit flavors and has a sweet aftertaste. Tea leaves quantities in winter are best quality but lower quantity than in other seasons because most tea leaves are resting in wintertime. Only some tea farms are located between intermediate altitude and low altitude and can produce light-roast Oolong tea. 

In contrast, the best time to harvest black tea is in the summer.  Ruby Red Tea is dark-roasted tea and has subtle mint and cinnamon flavors. Our Organic Ruby Red Tea is called No.18 Taiwanese Tea and is a more wild tea that needs enough sun and water to grow. This is why the best season to harvest Ruby Red Tea is in the summer. Our Organic Ruby Red Tea grows in a full-sun environment that produces No.18 Taiwanese Tea with the special feature of flavor.
