What are the “roots” of Rooteas?

Family-made
Our teas all come from tea-making families. Some are made by our own family, and others are crafted by families we've known and trusted for years. Not from an unknown source, but from real people and family producers whose craft we trust and have seen in person.

Single-origin
It means you can actually taste where the tea comes from. It stays true to its own place, so the local soil, rocks, and climate all come through in the cup. With Wuyi rock oolong, you get that clear rock rhythm (Yan Yun) and a deep, lingering fragrance that only those rocky slopes can give. When you drink it, you're not just having a cup of tea, you're getting a small snapshot of that landscape.

Transparency
We like to keep things honest and simple. When we share a tea, we share all the detailed information too, so you always know what you're drinking. We'd love to be the trusted tea partner you can turn to.

An oolong tea that smells like milk. That's Milky Oolong. It is famous for its unique milky aroma, a natural creaminess that leaves a wonderful aftertaste. But don’t get it wrong! No additives contribute to the milky smell of the tea because it develops naturally from the tea plant. The tea soup presents itself with a warm soft yellow hue that is both clear and bright. It offers sweet and smooth flavors that never become bitter or unpleasant. The sweet floral aromas combine seamlessly with milky notes. And this lovely taste lingers in your mouth long after you’ve sipped. In addition, it is definitely one of the best teas for cold brewing. If you want to try cold-brewed oolong, this is the perfect choice you won’t want to miss!
