It’s the kind of tea that rewards you the more you explore it.What Makes Oolong Special? 🌿 Partially oxidized — Oolong sits in a unique category between green and black tea. The partial oxidation process creates a complex, layered flavor profile that can range from light and floral to rich and toasty depending on the variety. 🍯 Naturally sweet — a light, honey-like sweetness with subtle floral notes; no added sugar needed, though a touch of honey is always a lovely addition 🧬 Rich in L-theanine — a naturally occurring amino acid found in tea leaves, L-theanine is one of the most studied compounds in tea science and is unique to the Camellia sinensis plant 🍵 Versatile — wonderful hot any time of day, and equally delicious cold-brewed straight from the fridge 🌍 Centuries of tradition — Oolong has been produced in China’s Fujian and Guangdong provinces for hundreds of years and is central to the Chinese Gongfu tea ceremony Steep 1 teaspoon of loose leaf in hot water (185–195°F) for 3–4 minutes.
