About Oolong Tea
 
Oolong tea is gently rolled after picking, allowing its essential oils to slowly oxidize. This reaction to the air darkens the leaf and produces distinctive fragrances. Once the leaf has developed properly, the tea maker must stop the oxidation by heating it rapidly in a process called panning. The leaf is then rolled into its final shape. Producing this handcrafted tea properly is extremely labor-intensive. The tea maker must carefully balance many elements in the critical first few hours, including weather conditions, leaf quality, and oxidation time. Depending on the processing method, the resulting tea can be anywhere from a green to a black. The finest oolongs are often prepared and enjoyed Gong Fu style (in a small clay pot for multiple infusions) to savor their complex flavor and aromas.
 
 

Wenshan Baochong


Wen Shan area is known for its cool, moist climate and  rich soil. The hills of Wen Shan have produced some of the finest light oolong teas over the past 150 years. Very slightly oxidized Bao Chong leaves are rolled long and tight. Once steeped, the deep green leaves produce a beautiful jade liquor which yields a subtle flavor and fragrant aroma, followed by a sweet aftertaste.


Nantou Si Ji Chun

Grown at Luku, in the famous region of Nantou, Taiwan, this tea is locally known as Si Ji Chun, which means "four seasons."  The mature leaves are lightly oxidized, rolled into a "ball-shaped" oolong, and then sorted.  The combination of these characteristics combined with Mr. Lu's experience results in this wonderfully fragrant tea.  New batches are sent via airfreight each month from the farm.

Wood Dragon 

This is one of the most popular teas in Taiwan, enjoyed in many restaurants and homes. It is a twig tea with a strong roasted flavor. This is a result of an extra firing after the tea is made.
