Oolong (semi-oxidized tea) is often overlooked by tea consumers. With all the hype surrounding green and white teas and black tea (bagged tea) stealing the spotlight for several decades in the U.S., Oolong has been on the sideline. Oolong gives many tea drinkers the best of both worlds because it lacks the strong grassy flavor of some green teas, and it’s not as bold as many black teas. The Oolong I’m drinking today comes from the Fujian Province of China. Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea, but it is now consumed all over the world.

Oolong has a very fresh scent to it. If you could assign a scent to “health” it would smell something like Oolong. The aroma from the dried tea is almost intoxicating. As I try to describe it, I can’t stop enjoying it. For those of you that read my blog regarding Jasmine Pearl and thought the jasmine flavoring did not sound appealing to you, this Oolong should be perfect for you. It’s very natural - as tea should be.

Just4Tea.com describes the tea as:

Lightly fermented and grown in the Wuyi Mountains in the Fujian province of China. The amber liquor yields an aroma that is gentle, smooth, and refreshingly light. The flavor has a mellow and sweet finish that will please your palate.

I often disagree with descriptions provided by the seller of the tea, but this one is right-on-the-money.
