This batch of Red Water oolong was from a plantation in Dong-Ding, which has very similar weather and elevation conditions to Wu-Yi. Dong-Ding is about 700m high, and the average elevation in Wu -Yi is 650m. Both places are at approximately the same latitude, but different soil conditions. Red Water Oolong was made from a traditional cultivar from Wu-Yi hundreds years ago. Same high oxidation. While you can certainly find "Wu-Yi" in Red Water oolong, somethings are different: the Red Water Oolong has an intense sugarcane-y sweetness in the aroma and good roundness in taste.
