About

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.

Origin

Doi Mae Salong

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 flavors including honey, amber, and malty notes. Many reviews mention its robust character that's bolder than typical oolongs but not overpowering. The tightly rolled leaves expand significantly when steeped and hold up well through multiple infusions, typically 2-3 steepings. Users appreciate its versatility for hot or cold brewing and find it suitable for daily drinking. While most praise its depth and smoothness, some note it can be too dark or black tea-like for their preference. Common feedback includes its distinctive reddish color and ability to provide lasting flavor satisfaction.

    The tea has changed

    Unfortunately, what was once my favorite tea appears to be no more. If you have an old bag of if lying around, you'll notice that the old one says it's from Doi Mae Salong in Thailand, whereas this new tea is from Doi Wawee. I honestly think this might be an entirely different grower, the taste is so different. I like the tea, honestly, it's perfectly nice, but it's very different. It's much more floral, it almost has a lychee undertone to it. Time to hunt around on reddit for alternatives I guess!

Our Customer Service Team would be happy to share more regarding our current sourcing of this special profile, and help with recommendations that might capture some of those characteristics you loved about the original, please don't hesitate to reach out!

    I love this tea

    Such a beautiful flavor. I tried it in a tea shop and have been ordering it for 3 years. Lovely. Has a sweetness like raisins.
