What is Oolong tea?

Oolong (乌龙) means black dragon when translated into English. Oolong tea is a specialty of China. This tea class is semi-fermented (semi-oxidised) and classified somewhere between unfermented green teas and fully fermented black tea. The Fu-Jian Province of south-east China is the birthplace of all Oolong teas. It is still the predominant heartland of the Oolong tea production today producing many big names such as Tie Guan Yin and Da Hong Pao.

Note: The Chinese have been using the term 'fermentation' traditionally to classify the various classes of teas. The actual bio-chemical change according to the modern science is actually more of an oxidization than fermentation.  

Other names?

The premium tea bushes are wild grown on the rocky mountains with natural rain fall and creek as irrigation, with well drained and sandy soil to produce a unique 'Yan Yin' (岩韵) - a clean, elegant and refreshing aroma.

Taiwan High Mountain Oolong 

Taiwan High Mountain Oolong (Dong-Ding Oolong) is a special class of Oolong tea produced in Taiwan’s high mountains, typically named after the mountains where they are produced and priced based on the altitudes of the mountains.

Dong-Ding translates into icy peaks in English. The higher the mountains are, the lower the temperature is and the better quality the teas are, as the tea plants grow slower in the cooler conditions and have more time to store up the nutrients and flavour.

In comparison to its mainland cousin Fu Jian Tie Guan Yin, their leaves are bigger, stronger and fuller, with a distinctive bold, refreshing and long-lasting aftertaste.

The most well known Taiwan high mountain Oolong include: Mt Yu Oolong, Mt. Ali Oolong etc.
