Since 1706, Twinings of London has been masterfully blending teas to create a special moment with each cup of China Oolong tea you brew. Oolong teas are principally sourced from China and mainly from the Fujian Province. It is said that Oolong tea first began to be produced at Mount Wu Yi Shan in Fujian Province at the end of the Ming Dynasty about 400 years ago. Oolong teas are partially oxidized or semi fermented which occurs when the leaves are gently shaken. It is this process which gives Oolong teas their reddish appearance and slightly sweet flavor, making them a sort of hybrid of black and green teas. Great to drink with lunch or in the afternoon, this tea is best served with milk and sweetened to taste. Each of the six boxes comes packed with 20 standard sized tea bags, so you can brew your tea by the cup or by the pot without any hassle.
From the manufacturer Twinings of London Pure Oolong Tea Oolong tea has a very long and rich history. Its origins are said to go back over 1000 years to the Beiyun region in the Fujian Province in China. Unlike black teas that are fully oxidized or green teas that undergo no oxidation, Oolong is formed through a special technique that results in the tea's partial oxidation. After withering, the tea is placed in muslin sacks and gently rolled. This bruises the leaf slightly, causing some oxidation to occur. This is repeated several times until the tea leaf turns darker green or reddish in appearance. Our Pure Oolong tea is golden in colour with a warm, toasty taste.
