Oolong Teas, (pronounced and noted as Wu-long), yield a charactered cup reminiscent of both black teas (amber-colored, and fruity), and green teas (lighter, less oxidized, with golden-green infusions). Most Oolong leaves are usually brownish in color and large in appearance--producing a fruity, sweet aromatic flavor profile all of its own! Research suggests that the regular consumption of Oolong Tea is linked to the reduction of cholesterol and weight loss.
FORMOSA POUCHONG WU-LONG - Formosa, meaning "beautiful," was what Dutch explorers called this island tea. This beautiful and cherished tea is slightly oxidized with large, wavy, dark-green leaves–possessing a wonderful creamy texture and rich flavor. Formosa Wu-long is arguable the most delicate tea produced in Taiwan–yielding a light cup with a delicate fragrance and gentle, precociously sweet taste!
JASMINE WU-LONG - This jasmine fortified Wu-long is expertly infused with the sweet delicate fragrance of fresh summer jasmine blossoms–producing a pale yellowish brew with a light, subtle, (but distinctive) jasmine flavor!
IRON GODDESS OF MERCY (TI KUAN YIN) - The Iron Goddess is one of the most well-known Oolong teas in the mainland of China; It's sphere-shaped leaves are characterized by its long semi-fermentation process. Many followers are allured to the Iron Goddess Oolong for its smooth nutty taste, lingering fruity fragrance, and legendary namesake. Goddess of Mercy's golden-brown liquor possesses a higher than average caffeine count–making for a great breakfast eye-opener, or day-break boost!
