Description
Blenders Notes Wu Yi Oolong:
Our Wu yi Oolong or “ROCK” Oolong (WuYi Yan Cha) is one of the earliest produced oolong teas. Many records show it was produced 400 years ago in China on the WuYi Mountain which is located in the Northern Fujian Province. This rocky terrain gives this Oolong tea a very unique taste and why it is called “Rock Oolong”. The tea leaves are very dark and wiry and have a unique fruity, smoky taste which is from its long oxidation process. It is very similar to a Black Tea in taste but have the long distinctive leaves of an Oolong.

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.
