Taiwan Wu Yi Oolong / 台灣武夷烏龍茶

Wu Yi Tea is a specific type of tea introduced to northern Taiwan from the tea region in Wu Yi, Fujian province in the 1970s. Wu Yi Oolong is usually heavily fermented resulting in a sweet taste that is strong and powerful.

1. The appearance of Wu Yi Oolong is half spherical after going through the process of machine kneading and twisting. Its leaf is thinner with a light green color.

2. The flavor of this tea is mellow, rich and smooth with a long lingering sweetness. For special species, there is an unusual fruit and honey aroma along with a rich, complex mouthfeel that finishes with a gradual unfolding of a cooling sensation. The special aspect of Taiwan Wu Yi Oolong tea from Fang Gourmet Tea is the natural fruity taste that is cool and refreshing.

3. Tea color: Bright golden yellow.

4. Wu Yi Oolong Tea is a half fermented tea made from the traditional way of making Taiwan oolong tea. It is also called “Green Leaf Scarlet Fringe” due to the way the leaf will open after brewing and the reddish brown color towards the area that’s halfway towards the rim of the leaf.

5. With the traditional way of making oolong tea, the Taiwan Wu Yi Oolong is produced from the bud and the leaf. Throughout the process, there is no damage resulting in tea leaves that resemble flower blossoming after brewing. It is a truly excellent product.

We will be featuring Taiwan Wu Yi Oolong at our upcoming tea tasting event in NYC from June 11th to June 13th for all tea lovers to enjoy.
