Oolong teas are classified as semi-fermented, striking a perfect balance between black tea and green tea. Crafting quality Oolong tea is a true art. Similar to the nuances found in fine wines, factors like soil quality, humidity, plant variety, and the expertise of the artisans all contribute to the unique character of the tea leaves. Oolongs are cultivated in select regions with ideal conditions, where great care is taken to preserve the surrounding environment. The area where true Milk Oolong is grown is especially limited, making its harvest rare and the price point reflecting this—but trust us, it’s well worth it. Traditionally, these teas are savored in small amounts, allowing for a deep appreciation of their intricate and subtle flavors.
