This pure form of Wuyi Rock Oolong tea is very rare and hard to come buy. This tea has an extremely large dark leaf and brews into a wonderfully smoky tea that you are sure to enjoy.
Oolong is a traditional Chinese type of tea somewhere in between green and black in oxidation, ranging from 10% to 70% oxidation. In Chinese tea culture, semi-oxidized Oolong teas are collectively grouped as qingcha (literally: blue-green tea). It has a taste more akin to green tea than to black tea: it lacks the rosy, sweet aroma of black tea but it does not have the stridently grassy vegetal notes that typify green tea.
The best Oolong has a nuanced flavor profile. It is commonly brewed to be strong, with the bitterness leaving a sweet and pleasant aftertaste. Oolongs produced in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province and in the Central Mountains of Taiwan, are world famous.
Our Oolong tea leaves are processed and rolled into long curly leaves for maximum water to leaf exposure and assure you the most benefit for each steep. It is suggested by numerous studies that this tea can be an aid in fat-loss. Oolong tea contains a substance called "Polyphenol", which is believed to have a role in activating the enzymes in the body that break down body fat. However, any claims about the exact ability of Oolong tea to be a weight-loss aid have not been evaluated by the FDA.
