Camellia sinensis
Oolong has a light perfume with hints of fresh cut grass, and a well-rounded green flavor with little tannin. Oolong tea is unique due to its partially oxidized leaves, creating a flavor profile and health benefits that fall between those of green and black teas. This Formosa oolong from Taiwan sits comfortably in the middle ground, featuring a complex and inherent sweetness that isn’t bitter, nor too acerbic.
Oolong tea is a traditionally enjoyed tea with naturally occurring antioxidants. It also contains caffeine, making it a flavorful choice for those seeking a naturally caffeinated beverage. With a name that means “Black dragon,” perhaps the caffeine is to be expected.
Oolong tea brews a beautiful, clean honey gold cup. Add 1 teaspoon of tea to a cloth tea bag or mesh basket and place in your favorite mug. Pour 8 ounces of boiling water over the tea and steep for 3-5 minutes or until desired strength is reached.
