Oolong tea is the favourite tea of China. It originated in the Fujian Province, where it is thought that it was first produced at Mt Wu Yi Shan at the end of the Ming dynasty.
Oolong lies artfully between the categories of green and black teas . It is sometimes known as a blue tea. There are as many grades of oolong as there are fine wines.
Rare Tea Oolong is known as the
Goddess of Mercy
or Tie Guan Yin. It is a lightly oxidised yellow gold.
We have specially selected this oolong for its truly extraordinary flavour. Crafted to an exact point at which the leaves reveal their hidden subtleties it has rich floral aromas leading to a perfectly balanced mineral finish.
The second infusion is richer and even more complex than the first.
The tea can be infused several times to reveal incredible subtleties of flavour.
We recommend infusing it in small amounts with a high leaf to water ration and infusing many times rather than making one large pot.
In this way you will uncover countless flavours.

Once you have tried Oolong tea you will be amazed that it is not more widely available or more loudly praised.
Using 1g per cup, each tin makes
25 cups or 12 pots of tea for two - 13p a cup.
These whole leaves can be re-infused
many times
. The second cup is even better than the first.
