How to prepare oolong tea

Due to the aromatic complexity of this tea family, tasting wulong tea can be a real sensory experience, especially when prepared with gong fu cha, which literally sublimates the infused tea.

Step 1: For most Oolong teas, we recommend a water temperature of around 95°C. This may vary from tea to tea, so please refer to the instructions on the packets.

Step 2: Measure the correct amount of tea into a tea filter or teapot (usually 2 g per 25 cl of water)

Step 3: Leave to infuse for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the tea

Step 4: Remove the filter and enjoy!

Traditionally, wulong teas are infused with Gong fu cha, a Chinese method that concentrates the aromas and brings out the subtleties of the reference.

What makes wulong teas so original?

Wulong (oolong) teas are the fruit of delicate and unique manufacturing processes. Their semi-oxidation places them halfway between a green tea, with very little oxidation, and a black tea, with complete oxidation.

Producers vary the duration of oxidation and the degree of firing of the leaves, resulting in a wide variety of flavours, from floral to roasted.

Very often, wulong leaves are rolled into small beads that unfurl during infusion.

History and origins of oolong tea

Wulong tea, which means "black dragon" in Mandarin, is also known as oolong or blue-green tea, due to the particular color of its large leaves after infusion. It originally originated in China. Its history goes back many centuries.

Traditionally made in China's Fujian province, then on the island of Taiwan, wulong is now produced in many other countries(India, Laos, Vietnam, New Zealand...).

Drinking organic tea allows you to enjoy its benefits without pesticides or chemicals, preserving your health and that of the environment. What's more, organic tea is grown with respect for local ecosystems and farming communities, guaranteeing better quality and sustainable practices.

It depends on your sensitivity to theine (=caffeine). Tea is an exciting drink.

Yes, that's right. Some teas lend themselves more to re-infusion than others. This is the case, for example, with plain teas.
