Fresh High Mountain Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea #1476

Produced in the world famous Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province and in the Central Mountains of Taiwan, Oolong tea (also known as Wu-long tea) is a semi-oxidized tea that has many different processing methods. As a result, the infusion may produce a reddish brown, green, or even orange in color. Since oolong teas are semi-fermented, the tea leaves contain a wide variety of polyphenolic compounds that are very beneficial to our body. Oolong 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. It is commonly brewed to be strong, with a hint of bitterness then leaving a sweet and pleasant aftertaste. Oolong tea is great for the metabolism which helps in weight loss and it enhances the quality of skin and teeth. This Royal Grade Oolong tea has a rich buttery scent to complement its creamy taste and delicate flavors.
