Sparkling Citrus Oolong with Orange & Grapefruit
☀️ Sun-Kissed Special: When High Mountain Oolong Meets Sparkling Citrus
Shedding the "sugary soda" stereotype, this is a sophisticated sparkling tea with genuine tea depth and fruit layers.
This beverage redefines Fruit Tea. We retain the elegant floral notes and sweet aftertaste of Jade Oolong, layering it with rich orange and grapefruit aromas. The addition of sparkling water lightens the tea body, creating a sunset-like gradient in a stemmed glass—perfectly interpreting the visual aesthetics of an Aesthetic Drink.
Sparkling Citrus Oolong with Orange & Grapefruit is an Iced Tea Drink designed for consumers who demand distinct tea flavor. Unlike market sparkling drinks where the tea taste is often diluted, we specifically selected the High Mountain Oolong Espresso Bag. This tea bag is capable of quickly releasing a high concentration of tea polyphenols and floral aroma, blending perfectly with citrus fruits to create a top-tier specialty that balances "Tea Depth" with "Sparkling Fizz."
The design soul lies in the "Tea, Fruit, Fizz" golden triangle:
1. Flavor Base: Espresso-Grade Oolong
We insist on using the concentrated tea soup extracted from the High Mountain Oolong Espresso Bag as the soul. This high-concentration oolong carries natural sweetness and a slight astringency that perfectly "grips" the acidity of the citrus fruits. It makes the drink taste robust and aromatic, showcasing the quality of a premium Tea Drink.
2. Visual Aesthetics: Aesthetic Layered Drink
This is a filter-ready Aesthetic Drink. The high density of the ruby grapefruit concentrate settles at the bottom, creating a beautiful ruby color that gradients up into the gold of the orange and the translucence of the tea. Served in a stemmed glass with fresh grapefruit slices, it offers excellent visual appeal for brunches or parties.
3. Ultimate Texture: The Fizz of Sparkling Drink
To enrich the texture, we inject Sparkling Soda at the end. The fine bubbles dance on the tongue, bringing out the essential oil aromas of orange and grapefruit while simultaneously amplifying the lingering finish of the Oolong Tea.

High Mountain Oolong Espresso Bag: 1 bag
Hot Water: 100 ml (Adjust for concentration)

Directions
Shake the Base
Add Green Tea and Orange Syrup to a shaker. Add ice and shake well to blend the tea and fruit flavors.

Visual Tip: This is the key to making an Aesthetic Drink.
Pour & Layer
Pour in the shaken Orange Green Tea. Gently pour in the Sparkling Water. Finally, drizzle the Grapefruit Syrup along the ice or glass wall.

🏷 Tips
Tea Choice: We recommend Jasmine Green Tea or Four Seasons Oolong; these floral green teas pair best with citrus fruits.
Sparkling Ratio: The sparkling water adds texture without diluting the tea flavor. Adjust for more fizz if desired, but balance the sweetness.
Drinking Suggestion: Recommend stirring before drinking to mix the sunken grapefruit syrup with the orange tea layer for a sweet-tart Citrus Drink experience.
