Oolong

Oolong

Oolong teas are neither green nor black, but somewhere in between. They are made from tea leaves that have undergone
partial enzymatic oxidation, thereby creating a broad range of flavor and aromatic profiles.

At Red Blossom Tea Company, we carry a selection of premium oolong teas from each of the four traditional oolong producing regions.

Anxi
Complex and well-balanced, Anxi county’s famed Tieguanyin oolongs are mid-oxidized
with notes of honey, stone-fruit, and nuts.
Formosa
Large leaved Formosa oolongs are intoxicatingly fragrant and floral with a persistent finish,
a result of unique terroir and a crafting process combining light oxidation with gentle finishing roasts.
Phoenix
Honey Orchid, Orange Blossom, Almond, and Orchid are some of the famed Phoenix Mountain oolongs teas.
Their golden-brown leaves mimic that for which they’re named.
Wuyi
High-fired and heavily oxidized, the twisted leaves of Wuyi Mountain swear allegiance to oolong’s dark side
with notes of burnt sugar, cocoa, fruit, and spice.

San Lin Xi, Spring 2013

A slightly higher oxidation rate creates a sumptuous tea that has a concentrated and intense finish, with notes of flowers, tropical fruit, brown sugar and cream.
