An essential gateway to high mountain teas, Faintly Roasted Oolong balances bright high-mountain florals with a gentle, soothing roast.

As hot water awakens the leaves, delicate high-mountain white florals mingle with warm, comforting aromas of toasted grain and sugarcane. On the palate, a silky, refreshing liqueur bathes the senses, bringing a subtle floral lift and a long, clean sugarcane sweetness. Smooth, comforting, and forgiving to brew, it is an exceptional choice for both seasoned tea lovers seeking a cozy daily cup and beginners exploring Taiwanese oolongs.

The Art of Roasting
Crafting Taiwanese Oolong

Taiwanese tea excels in artisanal roasting—where masterfully guided Maillard reactions unlock rich, toasted nutty aromas while naturally lowering caffeine. The result is a soothing, stomach-friendly cup to enjoy worry-free, even late in the evening.

Naturally forgiving, roasted oolongs never turn bitter, even with extended steeping. Built for endless infusions—from 3 to 8 minutes—each steep unfolds evolving aromatic depth and a beautifully lingering finish.

Perfect for Coffee Lovers

Rich notes of roasted nuts, cocoa sweetness, and warm florals create a comforting body that resonates deeply with coffee lovers.

Sweet & Savory Pairing

Warm roasted notes pair effortlessly with pastries, dark chocolate, and red bean desserts, while balancing savory dishes with ease.

Exploring the Depths of Roasted Oolongs

Muzha | Dark Roast

An amber-hued, full-bodied classic. Robust toasted nut aromas meet a subtle, refined fruity finish that rounds off smoothly—and pairs beautifully with milk.
Lugu | Dark Roast

Traditional charcoal-roasted Dong Ding Oolong with a silky, dark-chocolate feel on the palate. Deep cocoa-tinged notes balanced by a sophisticated botanical sweetness.

Alishan | Light Roast

Wolf Tea’s signature lightly roasted Alishan Oolong. In-house roasting preserves bright floral aromatics while extending a smooth sugarcane sweetness—the most comforting start to high-mountain teas.

10th Anniversary Special Edition

A Taiwanese Gongfu tea classic, crafted specifically for roasted oolongs. Its porous Zhuni clay absorbs and nurtures deep roasted aromatics, growing more fragrant with every brew—a timeless vessel layering years of tea memory.

Aging Roasted Oolong Vintage Complexity

Fire-refined roasted oolongs age gracefully over time. Stored thoughtfully after opening, gentle post-fermentation rounds off initial roasting sharpness. As years pass, fire notes soften into subtle, plum-like nuances and a velvety, full-bodied palate—a deeply rewarding journey for vintage tea lovers.

Aging & Storage Tips

Environment

Keep tea in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight. Never store in the refrigerator.

Tea Vessels

Airtight tin canisters preserve clean original flavors for smooth drinking, while porous earthenware jars accelerate post-fermentation for deeper, mellow aging.

〔Rare Collection〕 Honey Iron Goddess

A rare leafhopper-kissed Tieguanyin edition. Beneath its firm, dark-roasted character lies an intoxicating trail of natural honey fragrance, reminiscent of a poised and elegant woman. Extremely limited availability.
