FORMOSA OOLONG

About the tea

Indulge in the exquisite taste of Formosa Oolong, a semi-fermented tea renowned for its rich, complex flavour profile. This high-grade oolong, crafted from large, lush leaves, offers a captivating balance between the delicate notes of green tea and the robust character of black tea. Oolong teas, including Formosa Oolong, are a unique category of tea that bridges the gap between green and black teas. They undergo a partial oxidation process, resulting in a distinctive flavour profile that sets them apart. This process, which involves withering and bruising the tea leaves, allows for a controlled level of fermentation, influencing the final taste and aroma of the tea.

Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa, is the birthplace of oolong tea, and its mountainous regions provide the ideal conditions for cultivating these exquisite leaves. The island’s diverse climate, rich soil, and skilled tea artisans contribute to the exceptional quality of Taiwanese oolong teas.  

As the tea steeps, it unfurls a beautiful amber hue in the cup, inviting you to savour its aromatic bouquet. Each sip reveals a symphony of flavours, ranging from floral and fruity to nutty and woody. The taste is rich and satisfying, yet remarkably smooth and refined, making it a delightful choice for both tea connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.  

Formosa Oolong is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for a variety of occasions. Enjoy it on its own, savouring its nuanced flavours, or add milk to create a comforting and creamy beverage. Its adaptability allows you to customize your tea experience to your preference.
