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

Red Tie Guan Yin Tang 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 "Tang 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.
