Origin

Oolong tea

Oolong tea is a semi-oxidised tea, falling between green (non-oxidised) and black tea (completely oxidised), commonly ranging between 8% to 85%. The leaves are typically kept as whole, that can either be compressed into balls or rolled into whole leaf strips. Due to its nature, most Oolong teas use tea plant cultivars specifically during this procedure.

Oolong tea can be roasted to varying degrees, producing alternate flavours such as floral, aromatic, lightly toasted and dark golden roast. Less oxidised oolongs offer a more fresh green tisane taste, whilst heavily oxidised oolongs present a more malty tea flavour.
