Fall Harvest 2021 Reveal
hello friends,
I love the fall. The weather is perfect, you can wear sweaters, and people don't look at you strange for drinking hot beverages all day long. You know what else? I LOVE the fall oolong harvest.
Each fall we produce two teas that are basically a greatest hits album 📻. We make an unroasted green oolong and our signature red oolong. They are both delicious and both worth your time.
Read on to learn more about them & order some today!

🌤️weather report
It's crazy how the time has flown. Since spring harvest, we've had intermittent rain, nothing detrimental or affecting the plants in a negative way, but certainly some more healthy precipitation than the drought we were experiencing earlier in the year. The two weeks leading up to the fall harvest we experienced warm weather and sunny skies. Shortly after harvest we fell into typhoon season in full swing, with rain on most days. Seriously some great timing! No major hitches here, and the quality of the tea is top notch as a result!
🍵fall tea collection
We have two (2) delicious teas on the menu & you should really just pick both of them up! I say it every year and I'll say it again, oftentimes the fall harvest is nearly always overlooked... but it shouldn't be when you're working with incredibly talented tea farmers! If you're into value investing this is the harvest for you 😆. You get an incredible tea, usually a tinge more bitter than spring/winter harvest, but at an incredible price.
These are your every day drinkers. You just can't go wrong.
🥦 unroasted green oolong
Usually the fall green oolongs tend to be a little on the bitter side and have a strong aftertaste that really coats your mouth/throat. Personally, I love them. The more mouthfeel the better. This year I'm actually feeling like the tea is a bit lighter and higher quality! 🤩 It's more vegetal, smoother, quite a bit broth-like that we usually experience with winter teas. I've been very pleased with the harvest and drinking it non-stop, I think you'll love it too :)

🍑 red oolong
As one of the original teas that BANGtea launched with, I'm excited to share this year's batch of red oolong! The very first time I tasted Uncle's red oolong I was blown away. It was such a distinct flavor profile, different from many Dong Ding oolongs I'd had from the nearby famous growing region. What stood out most to me then & still now, is the depth of this tea's character. Pending your brewing style this tea can be light and fruity or you prefer to steep it longer you'll find yourself with a heavier, toastier liquor that leaves your tastebuds tingling.
