Oolong Teas

Picked at the critical moment when the leaves reach their peak, the processing begins with a withering ritual involving exposure to direct sunlight and repeated shakings in bamboo baskets to bruise the leaves until the leaf edges become reddish and the veins translucent. This oxidation produces an orchid-like fragrance and a flavor more full-bodied than a less processed green tea but not as robust as a black tea. A perfect center for experiencing the best of both worlds.     Learn about the health benefits of oolong teas
