Oolong Teas

Oolong Teas

Oolong teas are semi-fermented teas, more than green tea, but less than black tea. Oolong means “black dragon” in Chinese. The leaves are shaken during fermentation and then fired to the point that the leaves develop peachy notes. The best oolongs come from Taiwan. Flower names are used for quality teas – rose, jasmine, and peach blossom.

They are full-bodied with a fragrant flavorful and fruity, sweet aroma. Oolong teas promote weight loss by boost metabolism rate and increase digestion. Studies show that drinking Oolong during or after a high-cholesterol meal has been shown to lower the intake of fat content in the blood.
