High in antioxidants and other vital properties green teas have endured the test of time to still be one of the world's most revered beverages. It is believed that the first cup of tea was brewed in 2737 B.C. when Emperor Shen Nong was boiling water next to an open window. Some tea leaves accidentally blew into the pot and he found the aroma enchanting. He drank the concoction and enjoyed it very much! "Tea" was to soon become the most popular beverage in China. Today tea is the second most popular beverage in the world, second only to water.

Oolong Tea Organic

Origin: China A succulent full bodied tea due to the unique process of partial fermentation to produce both off-green and black leaves. Appeals to the senses of both black and green tea drinkers. Economical brew, bulky tea.

Tea Tips: Heat your chosen vessel with hot water prior to brewing. Attention to the proper amount of tea recommended for brewing your beverage results in an exceptional cup following the recommended steeping time. A proper brew offers unsurpassed aroma and taste producing a non-bitter sipping experience. If tea needs to be stronger, you need to add more tea - not steep longer. Tea becomes far less enjoyable with extended brewing time as too many tannins are released resulting in an astringent taste.
