【COTE 原茶 Bar】紅烏龍_喫的台灣茶

入口是果香，轉瞬成焙火暖韻，彷彿午後台東的陽光落在心頭。
來自台東鹿野的紅烏龍，是台灣最年輕、也最難被歸類的茶種——既有烏龍的層次結構，也蘊含紅茶的甘醇溫潤。在這款喫風味吧中，茶香透過可可脂溫柔釋放，前段如柑橘與鳳梨的果甜緩緩湧現，中段漸顯焦糖與桂圓的烘焙韻味，尾韻細緻悠長，帶著淡淡果酸與蜜香，為整體風味鋪展出輕盈卻深刻的篇章。

「紅烏龍到底是紅茶還是烏龍茶？」我們更傾向說，它是自由的味道。來自無高海拔庇佑、也無特殊地理標籤的台東紅烏龍，卻靠著製茶師的巧手與直覺，成就了這種融合兩種工藝精髓的風味品種。

製茶流程結合兩大茶系工法：紅烏龍在製程上兼容並蓄——如烏龍般重視攪拌與萎凋時間的掌握，又如紅茶般經過充分發酵與烘焙。茶葉需長時間翻動、溫控細膩，製茶師如同調香師，掌握每一次空氣流動與水氣變化，只為醞釀出果韻與焙香的完美平衡。有時光是攪拌就超過 24 小時，每一念轉折都決定了最終風味的走向。

紅烏龍的「未定義」，正是它最迷人的特質。自 2008 年誕生以來，它打破傳統茶類的框架，不只在製程上不設限，更在品種選擇上百花齊放——從金萱、迎香到青心烏龍、沁玉……不同品系呈現出各異的果香與焙火層次，彷彿每一批紅烏龍都有自己獨立的性格與語言。更有趣的是，偶有小綠葉蟬來訪，還能激發出特殊的蜜香版本，使紅烏龍茶款在市場上風格多元、氣質獨特，難以複製。

一塊吃的紅烏龍，像極了當代的斜槓青年。溫柔中帶著堅定，果香與焙火並存，甜韻與深度並行。這不只是茶香在嘴裡綻放，而是一種跨界共感的風味哲學——把無法定義，變成無限可能。
 

Red Oolong・The Taste of Freedom.
A burst of fruitiness greets the palate, then gently shifts into a warm, toasty depth—like a ray of Taitung’s afternoon sun resting on your heart. Hailing from Luye in Taitung, Red Oolong is Taiwan’s youngest and perhaps most elusive tea variety. It carries the layered structure of oolong, yet reveals the mellow sweetness of black tea. In this edible flavor bar, its aroma unfolds softly through the richness of cocoa butter: a gentle rise of citrus and pineapple-like sweetness at the front, followed by caramel and dried longan warmth, and a lingering finish of subtle fruit acidity and honeyed fragrance. The result is a profile both airy and profound—light on the tongue, but deep in resonance.

So—is Red Oolong a black tea or an oolong? We’d rather call it the taste of freedom. Grown without the high-altitude halo or iconic terroir, this Taitung-born tea instead relies on the intuition and artistry of its makers—an unconventional varietal that bridges the finest traits of two traditions.

Its processing technique merges the philosophies of both oolong and black tea: emphasizing withering and agitation like oolong, while embracing full fermentation and careful roasting like black tea. Each batch is gently turned for hours—sometimes over 24—its final character shaped by the tea master’s sensitivity to temperature, airflow, and moisture. In their hands, like a perfumer layering notes, fruit and roast come into perfect balance.

Since its emergence in 2008, Red Oolong has defied categorization. Unbound by strict methods or cultivar limits, it thrives in diversity—expressing new personalities through varietals like Jin Xuan, Yingxiang, Qingxin Oolong, or Qin Yu. Each brings a different tone of fruit and fire, like voices in a chorus of unique stories. And occasionally, a surprise visit from the leafhopper brings a hint of honeyed magic, creating rare and coveted expressions that can’t be duplicated.

To taste this Red Oolong in edible form is to meet the flavor equivalent of a modern multi-hyphenate: tender yet determined, vibrant yet deep, sweet yet thoughtful. It’s not just tea melting in your mouth—it’s a philosophy of crossover sensibility, where “undefined” becomes infinite possibility.
