Oolong Tea

Oolongs are partially fermented teas, somewhere between green and black. The oolong tea leaf tends to have a green middle and brown edges, hence the colour of the brewed tea ranges from brown to yellowy green. A light, earthy aroma and a pleasant, nutty taste are typical characteristics of these teas. Oolongs are very popular in China and Taiwan, since they are good for the body and promote a sense of well-being – perhaps due to the interplay between the intensified caffeine content and the retention of the tea leaves’ nutritious qualities. We offer a range from long-fermented to lightly fermented oolongs.
