Organic Oolong Tie Guan Yin Tea

The flavours of Fujian in a green Oolong tea

Oolong tea is enjoyed by more and more tea lovers around the world. Oolong leaves are grown in China and Taiwan, and undergo varying degrees of oxidation depending on the style desired: lightly oxidised for an Oolong closer to green tea, or more heavily fermented for one that approaches black tea.
Our Chinese green Oolong comes from the mountains of Fujian. The leaves are rolled to lock in their flavour and goodness. This lightly oxidised tea offers a fresh, floral character, producing a pale, delicate infusion with a naturally low caffeine content, perfect for a light and gentle cup.

The benefits of green Oolong tea

Lightly oxidised teas, such as white tea and Oolong, retain more of the plant's natural benefits. The way our tea is produced helps preserve its polyphenol content. These antioxidants offer a range of health benefits: they help protect your cells from oxidative stress, support a healthy weight, and contribute to overall wellbeing.
Our organic Tie Guan Yin is also low in caffeine, making it a great choice even for those who are more sensitive to stimulants.

Brewing tips

How to prepare green Oolong tea

You can brew your Oolong using either the Western or traditional method. Either way, keep the infusion short: 2 to 3 minutes in hot water is all it takes. The leaves can be steeped several times in succession, each infusion revealing a slightly different character.

How much green Oolong should I use?

For a cup rich in flavour, aroma and polyphenols, we recommend using 12 grams of leaves per litre of water.

What is the ideal brewing temperature for green Oolong?

To bring out the fresh, floral notes of your Chinese Oolong, keep the water temperature below 80 °C.

When can I drink green Oolong tea?

Enjoy the antioxidant benefits of your Oolong throughout the day. Semi-oxidised teas are naturally low in caffeine, so a cup in the evening is perfectly fine.
