Description
Blenders Notes Black Dragon Formosa:
Tung Ting is a variety of Taiwanese oolong tea that has been around for centuries…and is revered as one of the highest quality Oolongs from Taiwan. This Oolong tea has a darker colored leaf and cup color because it is oxidized for a longer period of time over the Green Dragon Formosa. This process gives the tea an entirely different character. You will pick up a very aromatic scent and a darker and fuller flavor with hints of earthy undertones. We did not blend this Oolong with any other flavors because it should be appreciated on its own!

When talking about the many types of tea, Oolong is a fun tea falling in between Green and Black Tea depending on how much it is oxidized. The primary countries that export Oolong are China (mainstream) and Taiwan (high end) teas. We carry mostly Green Oolong from China in our blends because it pairs well with the fruits we add to the teas. We also carry some speciality Oolongs from Taiwan.
The original origin of Oolong is from high elevation regions where the mountains are rocky with cooler temperatures. The leaf is left unfermented making it a green Oolong or it may be fully oxidized making it a Black Tea. Either way this tea leaves a fresh golden after taste in the mouth! Wonderful and unique flavor.
