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.

Grown in the Luye region of Taiwan, these Milk Oolongs (金萱烏龍) made with the celebrated Jin Xuan (金萱) cultivar truly live up to their name with their exceptional creaminess. Available in a lightly roasted "Qing Xiang" (Pure Flavor) with a gentle, vanilla character as well as a heavily roasted "Nong Xiang" (Rich Flavor) with delectable notes of caramel and marzipan.

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.
