The cultivation and manufacture of classic oolong teas are restricted to a small area of Southeastern China’s Fujian and Guangdong Provinces as well as the island of Taiwan. There are hundreds of types of oolong teas which are classified according to the tea bush varietal, the season of harvest, and the cultivation region. Each cultivation region of oolong has its own unique flavor and artisanal manufacturing tradition different from the next region. The oolong tea category is defined as a group of semi-oxidized teas whose manufacturing style ranges between green and black tea. Some oolong teas are more oxidized and closer in character to black tea with amber infusion colors and notes of fruit and roasted sugar like our Golden Phoenix Oolong from Guangdong while other oolongs are less oxidized and are closer to green tea with lighter body, floral aromatics and golden green infusions like our Jade oolong from Taiwan.
