Collection: OOLONG TEA

Oolong Tea

Popularly known as Chinese Tea, the tale of the origin of this tea is quite something!  It is said that one day, WuLong, a tea grower in China did not process the tea he picked. As a blessing in disguise, the tea started wilting and got oxidised. On finding the tea the next morning, he went on to process this wilted tea. Much to his surprise, the resultant brew was comparatively smoother than the usual black tea. In fact, it was also much sweeter and rather fragrant. As you may have guessed, coming from WuLong the tea earned the name Oolong. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

Today, a vast number of countries including but not limited to India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Thailand, and New Zealand are involved in the production of Oolong Tea. The ‘accidental’ oxidation of this tea, gives it a distinct flavour profile that sits almost in between black and green teas. However, it isn’t only the oxidation that gives it this distinct taste. The full-bodied flavour of Oolong teas is created using processes like withering, rolling and multiple rounds of firing. Needless to point out, it takes some of the most experienced tea masters to create this one-of-its-kind blend.
