High Mountain Taiwan Oolong

Description

This organic oolong tea is grown in Central Taiwan. It tastes like spring, with light savoury plant notes and gentle hints of sweet florals.

It has a clean, fresh flavour and the complexity of oolong, with a lighter body that makes it a pleasure to drink.

This semi-fermented tea is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals—an excellent choice for the health conscious tea lover.

Oolong is a partially oxidised tea made from Camellia sinensis leaves, the same plant that produces green, white, and black tea. Oxidation levels range from around 15% in light styles to 80% or more in dark, roasted varieties. That range produces genuinely different teas at either end: fresh, floral, and vegetal at the lighter end; dark, fruity, honeyed, and roasted at the heavier end.

Oolong is traditionally grown and mastered in China and Taiwan (particularly Fujian and Guangdong provinces). No two oolongs are alike. The level of oxidation, the rolling style, whether the leaf is roasted or left fresh, all dramatically shape the final character. It is considered one of the most nuanced tea styles in the world, and one of the most craft-expressive.
