Oolong Tea

Oolong teas are made from distinct tea plant varietals grown primarily in China and Taiwan. Their unmistakable flavor profiles are based on growing region, individual farmers’ production methods, and complex, multi-layered processing techniques. Oolongs provide a wide scope of flavor profiles; sweet and fruity, woody and roasted, or green and fresh, all depending on the region and style of production. Not simply “somewhere between black and green tea", oolongs offer a world of exploration and pleasure.
