Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea. It is produced by an elaborate and complicated process that includes drying leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant in strong sun. This is the same plant used for both black and green tea. Drying is followed by intentional oxidization, bruising and browning of the leaves and then roasting. Immensely popular around the world, Oolong tea is now produced in Taiwan and various regions of China.
We offer you both traditional Oolong as well as some more decadent blends.

Oolong Tea – Health Benefits
Oolong tea combines the qualities of both green and black tea. The process of oxidiation determines the type of tea you create. Green tea is made from fresh tea leaves which haven’t been exposed to the air, so oxidation has not occurred. Black tea leaves are crushed, which increases their oxidation rate (and gives them a darker colour). Oolong tea leaves are not crushed, but bruised and wilted in the sun, so they are oxidised to a lower degree. This
It’s a semi-oxidised tea, which means it is not fully oxidized like black tea, but more so than green tea. There is less caffeine in Oolong than black tea, but it still contains the lovely antioxidants, vitamins, amino acids and minerals that are so beneficial to your health.
With so many delicious blends of Oolong tea to choose from, it’s a win-win for your tastebuds and your health!
