Experience the perfect balance of flavour and wellness with our premium organic oolong tea collection.
Known as the "champagne of teas," oolong sits beautifully between green and black tea, offering a complex profile that ranges from floral and sweet to bold and toasty.
Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or a curious beginner, our sustainably sourced organic oolong selection brings ancient Chinese traditions directly to your teacup.
What is Organic Oolong Tea?
Organic oolong tea (烏龍茶 or wūlóngchá) is a traditional semi-oxidised tea produced through a precise process of withering, curling, and twisting. While green teas are unoxidised and black teas are fully oxidised, oolong falls in the middle, with oxidation typically between 10% and 80%.
The Art of the "Black Dragon"
The name "Oolong" translates to "Black Dragon," referring to the dark, twisted shape of the finished tea leaves. Our organic process ensures that no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers touch these leaves, preserving the intricate flavour notes:
Aromas: Ranges from fresh honey and orchids to roasted nuts.
Flavour Profiles: Buttery, fruity, woody, or spicy.
Texture: Notably smooth with a lingering, "creamy" mouthfeel.
The Rich History of Oolong
Originating in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province during the Ming Dynasty, organic oolong tea has been refined over centuries. From the legendary "Rock Teas" of China to the world-renowned high-mountain oolongs of Taiwan, this tea represents the pinnacle of artisanal craftsmanship.
By choosing organic, you are supporting the same natural ecosystems that gave rise to these legends hundreds of years ago.

7 Proven Health Benefits of Organic Oolong Tea
Why drink organic oolong?
Beyond the incredible taste, science suggests that a daily cup can significantly impact your well-being:
- Metabolism & Weight Management: Oolong tea contains polyphenols that may help boost metabolism and increase fat oxidation.
- Heart Health: Regular consumption is linked to lower levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol.
- Antioxidant Powerhouse: Packed with tea polyphenols that combat oxidative stress.
- Digestive Support: Traditionally used to settle the stomach after heavy meals.
- Mental Clarity: Contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes "calm focus" without the caffeine jitters.

- Blood Sugar Regulation: May help maintain healthy insulin levels.
Why Choose Organic Oolong?
When you buy organic oolong tea, you aren't just getting a cleaner cup; you're getting a more complex one. Without chemical intervention, the tea plant produces more natural compounds to defend itself, resulting in a deeper, more nuanced flavour profile that mass-produced teas cannot match.

Organic Oolong Tea FAQ
Q: Is organic oolong tea high in caffeine?
A: Organic oolong tea contains a moderate amount of caffeine, typically falling between green and black tea. It provides a steady energy boost without the "crash," thanks to L-theanine, which promotes relaxation and focus.
Q: How do I brew the perfect cup of oolong?
A: To get the most out of your organic oolong tea leaves, use water just below boiling (around 85°C–90°C or 185°F–195°F). Steep for 3–5 minutes. Many of our oolongs can be steeped multiple times, revealing new layers of flavour with each infusion.
Q: What makes oolong different from green or black tea?
A: The difference lies in the oxidation. While green tea is unoxidised and black tea is fully oxidised, organic oolong tea is "semi-oxidised." This unique processing gives it a complex flavour profile that combines the freshness of green tea with the depth of black tea.
Q: Does organic oolong tea help with weight loss?
A: Research suggests that the polyphenols in organic oolong tea can help activate enzymes that burn fat and improve metabolism. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, it is a popular natural aid for weight management.
Q: Why should I choose organic over conventional oolong?
A: Choosing organic oolong tea ensures your tea is free from synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilisers. This results in a cleaner taste and protects the biodiversity of the tea gardens where our Fu Liang and Halimun Jade varieties are grown.
