This Fanciest Grade is a rare, entirely hand picked and processed top grade Oolong which has a dark leaf. Produced from carefully selected leaves, the infusion is of a light brown color reminiscent of fine Champagne with a complex, but pleasantly mild and interesting nutty cocoa taste.
Oolong became very popular especially in the U.S. as a result of its fat burning or weight loss abilities. Although much has been discussed there exist several studies that show that Oolong as well as green tea have a weight loss effect. Nonetheless, oolong is a tea that is great to drink regardless. This oolong has a half open leaf and produces a wonderful clear orange cup with a mild and nutty taste.
We are proud to carry this exceptional quality Formosa Oolong as it is not a secret that the best Oolong is produced in Formosa (Taiwan). It has a fine, shiny, green rolled leaf that produces a bright yellow cup with a lightly tart and aromatic taste.
