About Oolong

Oolong is a semi-oxidized tea family that falls between green tea and black tea in oxidation, and is an absolute favorite among the staff here at Saratoga Tea & Honey - not least because it holds up well to multiple steeps during shifts at the bar! You may notice that one Oolong might have lower oxidation and be light and floral like a green tea while another might have a deeper, more robust or honeyed character, leaning towards black tea.

How to Brew Oolong

Brewing oolong is extremely satisfying - especially watching the tightly rolled balls of a Taiwanese oolong unfurl into full, luscious leaves. Learn the best way to brew oolong in Western teaware or a gaiwan with our guide!
