Wholesale Formosa Oolong - oolong tea

100% USDA ORGANIC Origin: Taiwan Antioxidant Level: high Caffeine Level: low INFUSION: rich amber CUP CHARACTERISTICS: smooth and slightly sweet; toasty with a touch of dryness. STORY: oolong means semi fermented. After rolling, the tea is allowed to ferment only until the edges of the leaves start to turn brown. The tea is then fired which arrests the fermenting process and captures the interesting character associated with Oolong tea. In Taiwan, producing oolong tea involves highly specialized skills in the control of the withering, oxidation and firing. A slight variance in any of these gives each variety a distinctive aroma, flavor, color and finish.
