What is blue oolong tea?
Blue tea, also known as Oolong, is a partially oxidized tea, positioned between green tea and black tea. Depending on its origin and processing, it can develop floral, vegetal, fruity, or roasted notes. Each Oolong thus has a distinctive aromatic personality.
What is the difference between blue tea and green tea?
The main difference lies in the oxidation of the leaves. That of green tea is quickly stopped after harvest, while oolong tea leaves undergo partial oxidation. This process allows for a wide variety of flavors, from the most delicate to the most intense.
How to prepare and steep Oolong tea?
The water temperature and steeping time depend on the type of Oolong. Some delicate teas require cooler water, while more oxidized Oolongs generally withstand higher temperatures. Follow the instructions on each product page to fully enjoy the aromas of your tea.
