Formosa Oolong

from $5.00

Your First Oolong. Your Favorite Oolong

Oolong has a reputation for complexity — and Formosa Oolong delivers on that promise without making you work for it. Expect a lightly smoky character and a clean, mineral finish that lingers in all the right ways. While similar in style to black tea, oolong is much less tannic and more forgiving of longer steep times, making it a natural next step for anyone who's curious about exploring beyond what they already know. Approachable enough for the oolong-curious and satisfying enough for those already devoted to the style — this is a cup that rewards you every single steep.

80 grams makes about 35 cups of tea. The sample (10 g) makes about 4 cups.

Tasting Notes: Lightly smoky, smooth, and subtly sweet with a hint of wet earth and a clean, mineral finish.

Brewing: 1.5 tsp | 212 ℉ | 8 oz | 3 - 4 min.

Ingredients: Oolong Tea.

Contains caffeine.

Brewing Guidelines

Heat 8 oz of filtered water to a boil. Pour water over 2g (about 1.5 tsp) tea leaves in a teapot or a strainer set in a cup. Steep for 3 – 4 minutes. 

If you prefer your tea stronger, we suggest using more tea rather than increasing the amount of time; longer steep times may impact the flavor of the tea. 

The tea leaves can be re-steeped multiple times, increasing the steeping time slightly for each infusion. Notice the different flavors that emerge with each steeping.

Always use filtered or spring water to fully enjoy the taste of your tea. For best results, brew using a teapot with a removable filter that allows the leaves to unfurl completely. Avoid tea balls/eggs or other infusers that compress the tea leaves.  

Storing Tea

Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, moisture, and light. We do not recommend storing tea in clear containers (such as glass jars) as light can affect the shelf life of tea. 

Oolong tea should be consumed within 2 – 3 years of purchase for optimal flavor. However, it can be stored for longer and will develop slightly different flavors over time.
