Oolong Red Tie Guan Yin Tang Bei (Roasted Tie Guan Yin)

Red Tie Guan Yin Tai Bei (Roasted Tie Guan Yin) is an unusual version of the famous Chinese oolong, which undergoes a long roasting process over charcoal. As a result, this tea acquires a character that combines the features of classic oolong and red tea. It is ideal for those who want to buy a roasted oolong with a caramel aftertaste and a deep aroma.

This tea retains the origins of Tie Guan Yin, but thanks to the "Tai Bei" technology, it acquires warm notes of toasted bread, cocoa, wood and spices. It easily detects the nuances inherent in red oolong. This is a great choice for connoisseurs of Chinese oolong with a roasted profile or those looking for something new among premium varieties.

  <h3>Tai Bei Technique</h3>

  <p>Tai Bei (台焙) is a traditional slow roasting of tea leaves over natural charcoal. For Tie Guan Yin, this method softens the taste, making the infusion rounder and warmer while highlighting caramel-bready and fruity-woody notes. The finishing process stabilizes moisture, deepens the aroma, and extends the pleasant aftertaste.</p>
