About oolong tea
Oolong tea, a traditional Chinese tea, is somewhere between green and black teas, with incomplete oxidation giving a distinctive taste experience. The elegant dragon-like leaves of oolong tea, such as the black dragon and Mount Dong Ding, are significant in our selection of loose leaf teas.
Various oolong teas
Our range of oolong teas includes several varieties, each with its own flavour profile. From creamy and smooth varieties to woody and floral flavours, there's an oolong for every palate. The tea leaves are carefully selected and undergo special processing, with close attention to the fermentation and oxidation to create the characteristic flavours.
At Café du Jour, we offer not only traditional oolong teas but also unique blends with additions like rose blossom and marigold for a rich and complex taste experience. If you favour teas with no caffeine, we have rooibos tea in our selection.
Picked and produced in several countries, including China, Taiwan, India, and Vietnam, our oolong tea range pays homage to its rich origins. The processing, with factors like temperature, oxidation degrees, and sunlight, creates a palette of tea leaf colours that'll leave you enchanted.
Health benefits of oolong tea
Oolong tea is renowned for its health benefits, ranging from aiding weight loss to promoting healthy skin. The partial oxidation process allows oolong tea to retain many of the antioxidants found in green tea. These antioxidants can help neutralise free radicals in the body and support overall wellbeing. Additionally, it's believed that oolong tea can boost metabolism, making it a popular choice for those on a health journey.
Flavour profile of oolong tea
Oolong tea offers a diverse flavour range, sitting somewhere between green and black tea. The leaves, with their dragon-like appearance, provide a unique character and distinct flavour profile. Some oolong teas have a floral and light character, while others have a slightly nutty touch. The variation in oxidation levels and processing methods results in a vast array of flavours, from creamy and smooth to lively and full of character.
Oolong tea and its role in Chinese culture
Oolong tea has been integral to Chinese culture, where it has been picked and crafted for centuries. The crafting process is highly valued and regarded as an art form.
