OOLONG TEA
Oolong means ‘black dragon’ and is defined as semi-oxidized tea as it is a partially processed tea, ranging both in oxidation levels (from 10 - 70%) and rolling style. Oolong teas are bruised and left to wither and brown (oxidize). They are then heated which halts oxidation. Generally, oolong teas are either rolled into long curly leaves or small adorable beads with spindly little tails.
They retain characteristics of both green and black teas and therefore maintain very complex but pleasing flavors. Depending on oxidation levels and processing, flavors can range from green, floral, and fruity to woody, earthy, and roasted.

OOLONG PYRAMID TEA BAGS
Our teabags, or ‘pyramids’ contain the same high quality loose leaf tea and blends that we sell as whole leaf orthodox tea. The teas are blended in our warehouse in Wakefield, MA and sent to a facility that packages them into pyramids. The pyramids are roomy enough to allow the tea to unfurl and steep properly. Our tea bags are composed of Soilon which is a Polylactic acid (PLA)-based material that is biodegradable, and the seams are heat-sealed rather than sealed with plastic in order to maintain the integrity and safety of their makeup.

IDEAL TEAWARE FOR OOLONGS
Oolongs are so beautifully diverse in there feels and flavors that you can brew them in any number of fun ways, but we really do recommend brewing this tea type using multiple, shorter steeps. This is called Gong Fu style, and can really bring out different distinct flavors in every round of hot water. Double the dose in smaller vessels and do 15-30 second steeps, with a slightly shorter duration with every turn. So enjoyable.
