About Organic Wuyi Oolong

This elegant Organic Wuyi Oolong from Fujian is one of the most famous Oolong teas in China. The amber infusion captivates with rich aromas of cocoa, stone fruit baked in brown sugar, and a delicate floral note reminiscent of an unopened rosebud. The taste is marked by deep caramel sweetness and just-ripe plums. The mouthfeel is silky-smooth, with a long-lasting finish and a touch of astringency.

About Oolong tea

Oolong tea is a revered Chinese tea variety that bridges the gap between green and black tea, both in flavour and appearance, offering an extraordinary spectrum of tastes. The craft of producing Oolong is intricate, demanding exceptional skill and expertise. Depending on the level of fermentation, Oolong can present a fresh, floral profile akin to green tea or a spiced, piquant character reminiscent of fully fermented black tea. Because of its elaborate production, Oolong is celebrated as a connoisseur's tea.

Cultivation

The leaves for this organic Wuyi Oolong are cultivated in the mountainous region of Fujian province, China, an area celebrated for its exceptional tea-growing conditions. With a mild climate, high humidity, and nutrient-rich clay soils, the region provides an ideal environment for producing high-quality tea. The origins of Oolong tea in Fujian date back to the Ming Dynasty (14th to 17th century). Today, the renowned rock Oolong teas are still harvested in the Wuyi Mountains, including the legendary Da Hong Pao tea bushes, which are the ancestors of many modern Oolong varieties. These ancient plants yield distinctive flavours that have earned Oolong tea worldwide acclaim.

Effects

Oolong tea is rich in secondary plant compounds, especially polyphenols, which have potent antioxidant properties. These antioxidants help neutralise free radicals in the body, slowing down the ageing process and boosting the immune system. Additionally, Oolong tea offers a gentle source of energy due to its moderate caffeine content, supporting the body naturally in moments of relaxation and recovery.

How to enjoy

Enjoy this tea on its own to fully savour its fine notes of cocoa and stone fruit, or pair it with light, unsweetened foods such as almond biscuits or delicate fruits like pear or peach. Mild cheeses or roasted nuts also make excellent companions, enhancing the tea's complex, caramelised flavours. Why not try our Organic Wuyi Oolong Negroni recipe here?
