Black Dragon Tea - Oolong Tea 100 gram - Café du Jour loose Tea

What is black dragon oolong tea?

Black dragon tea is the poetic name for oolong tea, a style of tea that sits between green and black tea in terms of how it is processed. This black dragon oolong tea from Café du Jour comes as 100 grams of loose leaf tea with a coarse, rusty brown appearance. Scattered throughout the leaves you will notice tips — these are young tea leaf buds with fine white hairs, a sign of careful leaf selection.

The aroma is sweet and pleasant, with a distinct nutty character that makes each cup a rewarding experience. The ingredient list is simple: pure oolong tea, nothing else added.

What does black dragon tea taste like?

You can expect a grand, sweet aroma when you open the pack. In the cup, the flavour is smooth and nutty, with a natural sweetness that does not need sugar. The rusty brown leaves open up beautifully in hot water, releasing layers of flavour with each infusion.

Who is it suitable for?

This loose leaf oolong tea suits anyone who enjoys exploring Chinese tea traditions. If you already drink black tea or green tea and want to try something in between, black dragon oolong tea is a natural next step. It is also a good choice for people who prefer their tea without additives, since this product contains only pure oolong tea leaves.

• Tea enthusiasts who enjoy loose leaf brewing
• Curious drinkers moving from black or green tea to oolong
• Anyone who appreciates a sweet, nutty flavour in their cup
• Those who like to brew multiple infusions from a single portion
• People who prefer tea with no added flavourings or blends

How do you use black dragon oolong tea?

Brewing black dragon oolong tea is straightforward. Because it is a loose leaf tea, you will need a tea strainer, infuser basket or teapot with a built-in filter. Use water that is hot but not fully boiling — around 85 to 90 degrees Celsius works well for oolong. Steep for two to three minutes for a lighter cup, or a little longer if you prefer more intensity.

Brewing tips for a great cup

1. Use approximately 2 to 3 grams of loose leaf tea per 200 ml of water.
2. Heat your water to around 85 to 90 degrees Celsius.
3. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes for your first infusion.
4. Pour off all the liquid to stop the steeping and preserve the leaves.
5. Re-steep the same leaves two or three more times, adding 30 seconds with each round.
6. Enjoy the way the flavour shifts gently across each infusion.

With 100 grams of loose leaf tea and roughly 2 to 3 grams per cup, this pack gives you approximately 33 to 50 cups — and more if you re-steep the leaves, which oolong tea handles very well.
