Description

Orange Blossom Oolong Tea. Loose Leaf Orange Blossom is an unusual Formosa Oolong from Taiwan. Beautifully twisted speciality leaves with tip picked in July. Flavoured with Orange Blossom to create a fine very popular enjoyable liquor. Orange Blossom oolong tea also makes a refreshing and exotic iced tea.

Formosa, now called Taiwan, is the world’s greatest producer of Oolong (or Wu-long) teas. These delicious, biscuity, toasty, semi-fermented teas are half-way between black and green tea. The leaves are bruised and exposed to the air to oxidise for a short while, then baked to arrest the process. This produces a delicate tea but one that is full of flavour.

Brew with boiled water at a temperature of 80 to 90 degrees and leave to infuse for 1 to 3 minutes.

Tastes wonderfully round with citrus and jasmine tones.
