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. Oolong Tea has a number of health benefits, including calming effects and weight loss.

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.
