Oolong from Taiwan

The combination of excellent growing conditions at altitudes of over 2000m with the naturally sweet, delicately floral bouquets and perfectly set roasted notes, along with unsurpassed processing know-how, makes Taiwanese High Mountain oolongs (高山烏龍) some of the most sought-after teas in the world. We offer the finest Taiwanese oolongs from partner farms in the most renowned tea cultivation areas of the island, where the tea farmers grow their teas completely naturally without the use of plant protection products.

Oolongs rich in GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) are highly interesting from a gustatory point of view. The amino acid lends a creamy nuance to this oolong, harmonising perfectly with its nutty roasted notes. We offer high-quality GABA oolong grown naturally without plant protection products in the best terroirs.

Made from the famous Jin Xuan 金萱 cultivar, this Oolong is exceptionally smooth and creamy with a naturally milky character. Grown in the top terroirs of Luye, Taiwan, and Chiang Rai, Thailand, our teas develop their rich, nuanced flavour entirely on their own, without any added flavourings. Available in two styles: the more heavily roasted "Nong Xiang" with notes of caramel and marzipan, and the lighter roasted "Qing Xiang" tea, offering a softer, vanilla-like character.

Oriental Beauty is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after oolongs in the world due to the tea’s very unusual production – a process which contributes to its deliciously sweet taste: every year, the leaves of the tea are bitten by a local species of grasshopper, whereupon the tea develops its characteristic peachy and fruity aromas. We source this rare tea from an award-winning farm in Hsinchu, Taiwan, where the tea was first produced.

Red oolong is a special variety which undergoes a comparatively higher oxidation and develops very sweet aromas similar to high-quality black tea. Our Taiwanese red oolong in particular, made with the aromatic cultivar Ying Xiang, offers the fine roasted notes typical of Taiwanese oolong as well as a rich honey sweetness and notes of apricot.
