Oolong sits between green tea and black: the leaves are partially oxidised — somewhere from twenty to seventy percent — which gives the cup a soft, naturally sweet character that neither pure green nor pure black tea quite reach. Pair that with watermelon and the cup is unmistakably summer. Drinks well hot but truly comes alive iced — the oolong base is built for cold service. Pour over ice on a hot afternoon and the watermelon character lifts in a way the hot version barely hints at. 🌿Real Oolong Partial-oxidation Chinese leaf — the in-between tea 🍉Sweet Watermelon Naturally sweet pairing — the leaf carries it ❄️Built for Ice Hot is fine — iced is where it lives ✨ The Sampson PromiseWe only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t. Type Oolong, Flavoured Caffeine Light Origin China Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 3–4 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) Tasting Notes 🍉 Sweet Watermelon Aroma Lightly sweet, slightly green — the smell of ripe melon flesh rather than candy. Sets the cup’s direction without going syrupy. 🌿 Soft Oolong Body Body The partially oxidised leaf brings a round, slightly orchid-like character — the cup tastes round rather than crisp. Soft enough that the fruit can sit forward. ✨ Clean Sweet Finish Aftertaste Naturally sweet from the fruit and the leaf together — no sugar required. The cup ends light, the way a good summer drink should. How to Brew 01 Measure One level teaspoon (about 2–3g) per 8oz cup. Slightly more for an iced brew. 02 Heat the Water 85–90°C / 185–195°F. Hotter than for green tea, cooler than for black — oolong sits between, and water temperature should too. 03 Steep 3–4 Minutes Three minutes for a brighter, more fruit-forward cup. Four for a fuller body. Watch the leaves unfurl in the pot — that’s the sign of a real oolong. Water 85–90°C Time 3–4 min Per Cup 1 tsp Stunning iced: brew double-strength, pour over ice with a thin slice of fresh watermelon and a few mint leaves. The closest tea-shelf substitute for a hot-day summer cocktail. About the Tea 🌿 Chinese Oolong The Base Partial-oxidation Chinese leaf — neither green nor black, the in-between cup. Lightly fired to bring out the orchid-and-honey character that defines a soft oolong. 🍉 Watermelon Pieces The Fruit Real dried watermelon folded through the blend — releases a soft, melon-flesh sweetness as the tea steeps. Visible pieces in the tin, not just flavour oil. ✨ Natural Flavour The Lift A small amount of natural watermelon flavour rounds the cup — fruit pieces alone can taste hollow once dried, the natural flavour brings them back to ripe. In the tin Oolong tea, watermelon pieces, natural watermelon flavour. Origin & Sourcing Chinese oolong tea — partial-oxidation, lightly fired. Watermelon pieces folded through the blend in small batches for the Sampson shelf. A summer-iced cup built around the leaf rather than around sweetness. Show more
