What is Red Oolong Oolong?
Red Oolong Loose Leaf Tea

Product Description:
Red Oolong (Mu Hong Yan) is a deeply aromatic oolong known for its rich colour, smooth body, and naturally sweet, warming character. Produced with a higher level of oxidation than many traditional oolongs, it develops the depth and fruitiness often associated with black tea while retaining the floral complexity and layered character of oolong.
Careful oxidation and roasting bring out notes of ripe stone fruit, honey, caramel, and gentle florals, creating a balanced cup that is both rich and elegant. The tea leaves can be infused several times, with each steep revealing slightly different layers of sweetness, fruit, and roasted warmth.
At Brewesty, we source high-quality Red Oolong (Mu Hong Yan) for tea drinkers looking for a smooth, aromatic oolong with plenty of depth and a naturally complex flavour — without added flavouring.
Tasting Notes:
Red Oolong (Mu Hong Yan) has a rich, smooth liquor with natural notes of ripe stone fruit, honey, warm caramel, and subtle roasted sweetness. Gentle floral undertones add complexity, while the finish is long, warming, and pleasantly sweet. Its fuller body makes it an excellent bridge between traditional oolong and black tea.
