Orange Tea Tasting - Tea's Newest Category

What is orange tea?

Orange tea is a new tea-making method defined in Taiwan.

It was officially named by the Tea and Beverage Crop Research and Extension Station of the Ministry of Agriculture in 2024, introducing a new type of tea-making process.

Its name comes from the orange-red hue of the tea liquor, and it does not involve the addition of any citrus ingredients.

Orange tea is a blend of the long withering process of white tea, the rolling techniques of oolong tea, and the fermentation depth and stability of black tea.

It is a product of the 2008 Red Oolong. This was another achievement that represented innovative thinking in Taiwan's tea industry.
