Oolong Tea


Oolong is another great tea that should be found in your tea collection. Oolong tea is created through a unique process that includes withering under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting. The different varieties of oolong are processed differently before being turned into one of 2 distinct styles. Some Oolong's are twisted and curled into long curled leaves, while other varieties are wrapped and rolled into small beads, each wit ha tail.

Oolong is known for helping people lose weight, reduce stress and lower cholesterol.


Oolongs are only 75% fermented,  which results in a very delicious, sweet and fruity tea. Oolongs, like other tea types are graded according to their quality. The very best is called 'Choice', followed by 'finest to choice', then 'finest', 'fine to finest' and so on.
