Oolong

Oolong tea is a type of tea with a special balance of flavor and aroma. Its production involves various oxidation stages, so the taste can vary from subtly sweet to strongly roasted, from floral to herbaceous. This process determines not only the variety of flavors, but also the range of colors, which goes from green to golden and brown shades. The oxidation level of oolong tea usually ranges from 10% to 80%. Lightly oxidized oolongs (10-30%) have a lighter, fresher floral taste, closer to green teas, such as Blooming Season. Medium oxidized oolongs (30-60%) have both floral and fruity notes, often with a subtle roasting aftertaste, such as Red Oolong. Heavily oxidized oolongs (60-80%) have a richer, stronger taste, closer to black tea, such as Rock Oolong. Oolong tea is usually made from larger, more mature leaves that are picked later than white or green teas, so its flavor is often brighter and more intense. What makes this tea unique is that each cup reflects the production methods, growing region, and tea bush variety, making each sip unique.
