Story

Triangle Accent

This is a Sechung style oolong from Anxi County in Fujian Province. The rolled leaf technique was developed in Taiwan in the mid-20th Century and then adapted by mainland China. The term "oolong" means "black dragon" or "black snake" in Chinese. Floral notes dominate, with hints of butter and steamed greens.

Buttered Noodles, cucumber, celery, clementine, green apple, marigold, minerals, and stone

Process

Also known as Mao Xie, Dragon’s Tooth rolled oolong is a pluck of 3-4 leaves on a single bud, mildly oxidized, pan-fried and fully rounded. The plucks are then slowly roasted for up to 7 hours before packing. This allows Dragon’s Tooth to be steeped multiple times. Slightly more oxidized than most oolongs while maintaining its ‘green’ characteristics, Dragon’s Tooth will impress any tea lover.

Taking Good Care of Our Coffee, Our People, Our Farmers, Our Planet

Established in 2010 in downtown Floyd, VA (pop 432), Red Rooster was created with the simple notion of roasting excellent coffee for the owner’s existing coffee house. Soon, word of Red Rooster's quality spread around Virginia and up and down the East Coast.

Today, we employ 30 people while roasting some of the best coffee in the world. We are also the only coffee company in the country with a licensed on-site childcare facility for our employee's children.

While we've won numerous awards and accolades for our coffee quality, our true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin.
