Description

Referred to as the "champagne of teas", Oolong is considered to be among the finest varieties. The cultivation of classic oolong tea is restricted to a small area of southeastern China's Fujian and Guangdong provinces. The tea leaves are hand-picked and then partially fermented, yielding a range of flavors. Some are mild with a floral aroma and others may be more full-bodies and toasty. Certain varieties of Oolong teas actually undergo a brief oxidation period, followed by a wetting or softening of the leaves to prepare for a second oxidation.
