Bao Zhong Oolong

A rarity from Taiwan this exceptional Oolong is lightly oxidised and then aged for a number of years in controlled conditions to develop its rich, mild and buttery flavour with herbaceous notes and a hints of ripe melon.
We recommend brewing for a little longer time than most Oolongs, 4-5 minutes for the first infusion and increasing time for additional brews.

  • Brewing Oolong Tea

    Use about 1 level teaspoon per cup (adjust according to taste).

    Add water that is around 80-90°C.

    Allow to brew for 2-3 mins and be careful not to over brew.

  • Oolong teas traditionally come from Taiwan and China but other tea growing countries are now also producing Oolong style teas. 

    Oolong teas sit between Green and Black teas as the processing allows a degree of oxidation to take place. Some Oolongs are oxidised to as much as 85% giving way to more woody, rich fruity characteristics. Whilst some Oolongs receive as little as 5% oxidation and would easily pass for a green tea; they can be fresh, sweet, soft and buttery.
