Oolong Teas

Oolong teas are commonly known as partially oxidized, because the oxidation allowed in processing varies between that of a green tea and that of a black.

Varying between 30-70% oxidation, oolongs are produced into two main varieties: a darker, open-leafed style (Dark Goddess), and a greener, rolled-ball style (Jade Oolong).

Darker oolongs tend to have a soft, fruity character with undertones of stone fruit. Greener oolongs offer a more green infusion with a more floral character. Shop our selection of loose leaf oolong teas and gifts below.
