Organically Grown Oolong Tea

Renowned for their delicate florality, nuanced earthiness and pleasant sweetness, these unique and carefully crafted Oolong teas are an excellent addition to any tea cabinet. At Rishi Tea & Botanicals, we work closely with farmers to procure and share the most unique and interesting Oolong varieties we can find.

How to Brew Loose Leaf Oolong Teas

The Oolong variety is a delicate, slightly oxidized tea, which benefits strongly from a short and slightly gentle brew time. We suggest brewing 1 tablespoon of loose leaf tea (~7 grams) with 12 ounces of 185ºF water for 3 minutes, which will result in a well-brewed, delicate and nuanced tea. These teas also tend to be less astringent or tannic than black teas, due to their more delicate processing.
