Oolong Tea

Click To Order
Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant, just like green, black, and purple teas. What makes oolong unique is the semi-oxidation process — it's somewhere between green tea (unoxidized) and black tea (fully oxidized).
  • Key Features of Oolong Tea:

  • 1.Oxidation Level
  • Oolong tea is typically 20–80% oxidized, giving it a wide range of flavors — from floral and light to toasty and full-bodied.

  • 2.Flavor Profile
  • It has a complex taste, with notes of fruit, honey, nuts, or cream depending on how it’s processed.
  • Some popular oolongs like Tie Guan Yin have floral and buttery notes, while Da Hong Pao is more roasted and mineral-rich.

  • 3.Caffeine Content
  • Oolong has moderate caffeine, more than green but less than black tea.

  • 4.Health Benefits
  • Like purple tea, oolong contains polyphenols, catechins, and theaflavins.
  • Benefits include:

  • a) Improved metabolism and weight loss
  • b) Better brain function
  • c) Heart health
  • d) Dental health (reduces plaque)
  • e) Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties

  • Brewing Tips
  • Water temperature: 85–90°C (185–194°F)
  • Steep time: 3–5 minutes, depending on preference
  • Can be re-steeped multiple times (some oolongs are even better on the 2nd or 3rd brew)
