Charcoal-Roasted Oolong Tea
Traditional Slow Roasting, Rich Charcoal Aroma
🔥 Craftsmanship
Charcoal-Roasted Oolong Tea is made using a traditional slow-roasting process with locally sourced charcoal, undergoing a prolonged heavy roasting lasting approximately 5 to 12 hours. Charcoal roasting represents the highest level of tea roasting technique. Through the high heat and far-infrared effects of charcoal, the beneficial compounds in the tea leaves are transformed, creating a distinctive roasted aroma while making the tea more readily absorbable by the body. This traditional craft gives the tea a unique flavor profile and depth that is unforgettable.

✨ The Unique Appeal of Charcoal-Roasted Oolong
Charcoal-Roasted Oolong Tea is completely different from light-fragrance oolong teas. Through prolonged slow roasting, the astringent compounds in the tea leaves are transformed into sweetness, resulting in a milder, gentler character. The tea's fragrance carries a deep, smoky charcoal note, with a rich, layered flavor. After drinking, the aroma lingers in the mouth, leaving a sweet, fresh aftertaste that continues to unfold. This unique charcoal-roasted flavor is highly regarded by tea enthusiasts who appreciate rich,熟香 oolong teas.
🏭 Production Process
The production of Charcoal-Roasted Oolong Tea is intricate, involving sun withering, indoor withering, tossing (yaoqing), fermentation, kill-green (shaqing), rolling, drying, and finally charcoal roasting. During the charcoal roasting process, the beneficial compounds in the tea leaves are transformed by the high heat, making them more readily absorbable by the body—one of the reasons charcoal-roasted teas are so treasured.
