Oolong Tea

Oolong is best described as halfway between green and black tea, which gives it a unique, full-bodied flavor and aroma. It is partially fermented; after picking, the leaves are alternately exposed to sunlight and bruised in bamboo baskets.

Spring Time Zen
Spring Time Zen is a lightly oxidized oolong that exhibits characteristics of both green tea and Oolong tea. The long, twisted emerald-colored leaves provide a fresh, clear green and delicate infusion with fresh flowery notes of lilac and lily. Spring Time Zen is
a Taiwanese specialty oolong.

Monkey Picked Oolong
The most prevailing legend regarding the origin of this tea’s name holds that local monks convinced monkeys to climb the tall, wild tea trees and bring down the newest leaves growing on the treetops.  We like to think the pickers, reaching for leaves in precarious places, looked like monkeys in the trees. Either way, this tea is one of the few that holds up well to up to three infusions, and produces a rich golden liquor with a spicy aroma and semisweet aftertaste.
