What makes oolong tea special?
- Partial oxidation: Oolong can be lightly or more heavily oxidized. Together with the cultivar, origin and roasting, this creates an exceptionally broad spectrum of flavors.
- Versatile aromas: From fresh and floral to ripe fruit, honey, caramel, roasted nuts and woody notes.
- Multiple infusions: Many oolong teas can be steeped several times, with different aromas and nuances emerging each time.
From Milky Oolong and Jin Xuan to Dong Ding and Da Hong Pao
The world of oolong is exceptionally diverse. Our selection includes soft Milky Oolong and Jin Xuan, Taiwanese classics such as Dong Ding and Oriental Beauty, and distinctive Chinese oolongs such as Tie Guan Yin (Iron Buddha), Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) and Rou Gui. At Mingtea, you will also find special varieties such as GABA and Bao Zhong.
Brewing oolong tea and steeping it multiple times
Oolong is particularly well suited to traditional preparation with a gaiwan or small teapot using the Gong Fu Cha method. By working with shorter, successive infusions, you can experience the development of aromas and flavors step by step. Each tea comes with suitable brewing advice for temperature, quantity and steeping time.
