Alishan · high oxidation
Berries, warm sweetness, red liquor
“Red” oolongs are the highly oxidized cousins of the alpine greens. This lot comes from Alishan, and it is easy to underestimate on first tasting: it does not shout high-mountain florals.
What it does offer is ripe berry, warm sweetness and a dense red liquor — for drinkers who want character, not only alpine freshness.
