Full-bodied, deeply fermented oolong is slow baked to bring out complex layers of cacao, raisins and black cherry

Ruby Oolong is a special type of oolong tea produced in the Doi Mae Salong mountainous region in northern Thailand. This full-bodied oolong tea is deeply oxidized and slowly baked to bring out complex layers of cacao, raisins, and black cherry with a sublime, elegant structure. The soil in northern Thailand is soft and loamy, providing a concentration of nutrients not found in other oolong tea origins. This lends a unique sweetness and rich viscosity in mouthfeel. Ruby Oolong is an excellent introduction to the world of oolong tea with its deliciously sweet caramelized fruit and chocolate aromas that permeate the air as soon as it is brewed.

Doi Mae Salong, Thailand

Northern Thailand

Doi (“Mountain”) Mae Salong is a pristine high mountain oolong tea growing region in the far northern borderland in Chiang Rai province. Rich, loamy soil is mostly dirt with some mineral content of potassium and manganese. The soil is fed continuously with fresh high mountain water but also drains easily, providing the perfect growing material for tea trees.

Reviews Summary
Customers say: this ruby oolong is smooth, full-bodied, and rich with complex fruity flavors including tropical notes, caramelized fruit, and honey-like sweetness. Many reviews mention its robust character that's bolder than typical oolongs while remaining mellow. The tea steeps well multiple times, with leaves expanding significantly from their tightly rolled form. Common feedback includes appreciation for its unique floral and earthy qualities, though some note recent sourcing changes have altered the taste profile. A few customers find it too strong or dark for their preference, while others describe bland experiences. Most praise its versatility for hot or cold brewing and its satisfying afternoon pick-me-up qualities.

    My first venture into Oolong tea.

    This tea is really wonderful. Having recently gotten into the world of loose leaf tea and different brewing methods , I'm a novice at best .

    Being a "coffee snob" I've been intrigued by the world of tea and the many different varieties. As my journey into this new realm moves along, I found this tea just doing a quick search online.

    I'm really happy with this tea. Its smooth, has a nice color and a very pleasant flavor. Now that I'm getting better at brewing methods , like gongfu and using cups that highlight the different "notes" of various teas, I'm really enjoying this newfound interest! I know I'll be trying other Oolong teas in the future, I think I've found my favorite one, this one!

    I'll definitely be ordering from Rishi Tea & Botanicals , they have given me great tea and customer service

    Flavor that Transports You

    This is the most unique flavor I’ve ever tasted. It immediately took me into a beautiful garden. It has a floral undertone to me among multiple other flavors. This is a must experience tea.

    Coarse and Bitter

    Bitterness was not to my taste, and there is a certain coarseness to the brew which irritated my throat.
