Did You Know?
Oolong is around 40% oxidized which puts this tea between the smooth flavors of black tea and the strong, vegetal flavors of green tea.
More Info
Studies done on the health benefits of oolong teas are not as numerous and can be more confusing than those done on black, green or white teas. The nature of oolong teas, being so diverse, makes grouping them for study quite difficult.
Our Da Hong Pao Red Robe is an organic wuyi oolong tea and is oxidized roughly halfway to black and therefore shares the health benefits of both green and black teas. Our Red Robe is only about one-eighth oxidized so the health benefits would more approximate those of a green tea.
