You may also see this cultivar called \u003cstrong\u003eHong Xin Oolong (紅心烏龍)\u003c\/strong\u003e or simply \u003cstrong\u003eHong Xin Tea (紅心茶)\u003c\/strong\u003e, while in some Fujian contexts it is known as \u003cstrong\u003eHong Tsien\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a particularly fickle and sensitive tea cultivar, making it difficult to grow and maintain. Compared with more vigorous varieties, Hong Xin tends to produce smaller harvests and requires considerably more care, which is one reason authentic Hong Xin teas are so rare and command a higher price. The cultivar is traditionally associated with specialty teas such as \u003cstrong\u003eTieguanyin (Iron Goddess of Mercy)\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it especially appreciated among enthusiasts of older tea varieties.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003eball-rolled oolong\u003c\/strong\u003e, oxidized to 35% and painstakingly charcoal-roasted to develop its flavor slowly and carefully. Traditional charcoal roasting is a much more labor-intensive process than modern electric roasting, requiring patience and careful attention throughout the roast. The result is a tea with greater depth and a character that can continue to develop gracefully with age. Stored in cool, dark, and dry conditions, this oolong can last for decades, making it something you can enjoy many years from now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes from Staff:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a special tea because it uses the rare Hong Xin cultivar. You'll notice a very distinct flavor profile, much more subtle and unique than a typical Jin Xuan oolong. Drink these teas with tea friends or during a quiet, peaceful moment alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Mountain Tea","offers":[{"title":"5 g","offer_id":53947651424480,"sku":"RGNC-HNG-XNG-RD-HRT-LNG-05G","price":5.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 g","offer_id":53947651457248,"sku":"RGNC-HNG-XNG-RD-HRT-LNG-25G","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 g","offer_id":53947651490016,"sku":"RGNC-HNG-XNG-RD-HRT-LNG-50G","price":52.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/6975\/7920\/files\/reddragon-1.jpg?v=1785952022","url":"https:\/\/oldmountaintea.com\/products\/organic-red-dragon-oolong-tea","provider":"Old Mountain Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
