The Quick Sip
Premium quality, medium roasted oolong from the Anxi county within the Fujian province, this exceptional tea has that sought after, unforgettably lingering flavour that is reminiscent of peaches. We have tried many samples and selected this tea for the flavour that only considerably more expensive oolongs were able to deliver.

Tea Tales

For millennia, tea was drunk green, and then came Oolong tea, sometimes called Blue tea. It was relatively recently developed, first in China, then across the straits to Taiwan. Though loosely described as being stronger in flavour than greens, and more delicate than blacks, oolongs have a remarkable variety of flavours unique to themselves. Freshly plucked leaf is rolled, then agitated, steaming and crackling in hot woks, removed and rolled again by hand and even trod upon in bags. The amount of time the leaves are allowed to oxidize determines whether the oolong will be closer to a green tea (e.g. Jade Oolong) or a black tea (e.g. Amber Oolong).
