Roasted Oolong Tea

Welcome to the richer, deeper, and wonderfully cozy side of oolong tea. A cup of roasted oolong tea is like a warm embrace in a mug. It is comforting, incredibly soothing, and deeply satisfying with every single sip. This traditional style of tea is crafted with both fire and patience.

This special process transforms the fresh tea leaf into something wonderful. It has a natural nutty, sweet, and toasty flavour. Our collection celebrates this time-honored art. We use our iconic Dong Ding as the star of the show. We will also explore the beautiful and diverse spectrum of flavors that the amazing lightly toasted oolong leaf has to offer.

The Art of the Roast

How is it so different from the bright, floral taste of a High Mountain tea? The secret lies in a final step in the crafting process, which is the roast. This is where the tea master's skill, patience, and true artistry shine through.

After the leaves have been picked, withered, oxidized, and rolled, our tea masters apply heat. This is not a quick blast of high heat. Instead, it is a slow, careful, and gentle baking process. It is often done over many hours with special charcoal, following a traditional roasting method that has been perfected over generations.

This process completely changes the tea. It mellows out any sharp or grassy notes, reduces bitterness, and gently brings out the natural sugars that are hidden in the leaf. This masterful technique leads to caramelization, creating the wonderful toasty, nutty, and almost coffee-like notes. This unique taste makes this style so beloved around the world.

To appreciate the beautiful transformation that the roasting process creates, it helps to taste the full journey of the oolong leaf. Our special collection is designed to be your guide through this wonderful experience. It will take you from the toasty notes of the craft all the way to the creamy, fresh leaf in its beautiful, original state.

The Icon of the Roast: Dong Ding Oolong

The heart and soul of our roasted oolong tea offering is our classic Dong Ding Oolong. It is the gold standard for this traditional style. We are proud that ours comes from its authentic home in Lugu, Taiwan. It is a perfect medium roast tea. It creates a beautiful balance between the leaf's original character and the fine art of the roast.

Each sip reveals delicious layers of warm, nutty flavor. It also gives you the wonderful hints of caramel and a long, sweet aftertaste that is truly unforgettable. It is the ultimate comfort tea, perfect for a cool evening or a quiet afternoon. It will give you a touch of pure, cozy warmth with every cup.

The Creamy Original: Jin Xuan No. 12 (Milk Oolong)

To fully understand what the roasting process does to a tea, it helps to taste what the leaf was like "before." Our Jin Xuan No. 12 is a beautiful, lightly roasted oolong, and it offers a completely different experience. Instead of warm and toasty notes, you’ll find a naturally creamy, buttery texture and light, fresh floral aromas.

This tea is famous for its smooth and gentle character. Drinking it next to a Dong Ding is the perfect way to see the amazing versatility of the lightly roasted oolong leaf. It is the perfect, smooth counterpoint that showcases the leaf’s pure, beautiful, and original character.

The Artistic Blend: Champagne Kiss

The amazing versatility of the oolong leaf also makes it a perfect base for creative and artistic expression. Our delightful Champagne Kiss is a wonderful flavored blend that shows off this fun side of tea. It takes the wonderful qualities of a high-quality oolong leaf and infuses it with bright, celebratory notes.

This creates a truly unique and festive experience. It’s a great example of how oolong can be both traditional and modern. It is the perfect tea for celebrating life's happy moments.

Brewing a Perfect Cup for Every Profile

Each unique tea in our collection benefits from a slightly different touch when you are brewing it. Taking a moment to get it just right will help you unlock the very best flavor from your chosen cup. Here’s a simple guide to get you started.

For our robust Dong Ding, which is a heavily roasted oolong tea, you can use water at a higher temperature. It can handle even a full boil (95-100°C or 203-212°F). This higher heat is perfect for unlocking all of its deep, rich, and toasty notes.

For the more delicate, lightly roasted teas like our Jin Xuan and Champagne Kiss, slightly cooler water is better. Aim for a temperature around 90-95°C (195-203°F). This gentle heat will preserve their fresh, sweet, and floral aromas beautifully without damaging them.
