Oolong tea: a tea of distinction, whose multifarious flavours, colours and aromas are sure to suit any palate. And, if you are looking to buy oolong tea online, you have come to the right place.
First produced in the Fujian province of China, some 400 years ago, oolong tea now comes primarily from Taiwan and southern China. Its long, dark leaves, redolent of dragons' tails, are what give oolong tea its Chinese name: ‘Wu Long', meaning ‘black dragon'.
Oolong tea owes its distinctiveness to the method by which it is produced. As a semi-fermented tea, oolong tea is made using partially-oxidised leaves. As the degree of fermentation can vary greatly, so, too, can the character of the resulting tea. In all, there are around 3000 varieties of oolong tea: ranging from the lightly-fermented green oolong tea, to the highly-fermented dark oolong tea... and anything in between.
Light oolong teas, such as our Oolong Ti Dung, tend to have a more delicate, flowery taste - similar to that of green tea. For a stronger, more aromatic flavour, closer to that of black tea, a cup of our Superior Fancy Oolong is bound to please.
