Oolong Tea

Collection: Oolong Tea

Oolongs are semi-oxidised teas, meaning that the time spent withering, rolling and oxidising is much shorter than in black tea production, resulting a light but full-bodied flavour. Originating in China’s Fujian province, Chinese tea professionals refer to Oolong Tea as ‘Blue-Green Tea’ because of the intriguing colour of the leaf. The production of authentic oolongs dates back to the end of the Ming dynasty and is restricted to a few regions of China and Taiwan where artisan production techniques are still used. The Newby oolong tea collection includes loose-leaf teas and tea bags, including the popular milk oolong as well as flavours including ginseng, each one produced in just a few regions of China and Taiwan where artisanal production techniques are still used.

Oolong tea FAQs

What is oolong tea good for?

Oolong tea can boost mental alertness and aid in weight management. Although some use it for issues like high blood pressure or diabetes, there's limited scientific evidence for these claims. Always consult a doctor for personalized advice, and remember, oolong tea differs from other caffeine sources like coffee and black tea.

What is the best time to drink oolong tea?

The best time to enjoy oolong tea is in the morning due to its relatively higher caffeine content. It serves as an excellent morning pick-me-up, helping to kickstart your day and support metabolism, making it ideal for your morning routine.

Is oolong tea better for you than green tea?

Oolong and green tea both offer similar benefits and are great for overall well-being. Oolong tea’s partial fermentation gives it a unique flavor and may slightly enhance metabolism. However, both teas are healthy choices, and the best one often comes down to personal taste.
