Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea produced through a unique process including withering the plant under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting. Most oolong teas, especially those of fine quality, involve unique tea plant cultivars that are exclusively used for particular varieties. The taste of oolong varies widely among different subvarieties. It can be sweet and fruity with honey aromas, or woody and thick with roasted aromas, or green and fresh with bouquet aromas, all depending on the horticulture and style of production.

Our oolong loose leaf teas are sourced from a variety of tea growing countries, from China to Taiwan and Ceylon. Although oolong is manufactured according to Chinese techniques and using Chinese plant cultivars, the tea does not need to be grown in China.
