Japanese Oolong Tea

This rare Japanese oolong is light and floral, with a buttery mouthfeel and hints of jasmine and apricot. Our Japanese Oolong is sourced from Shimada in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the Ojiro river and the gentle mountains of the region contribute ideal growing conditions for tea. This spring-harvest tea is lightly oxidized.

How To Brew Japanese Oolong

Use 1 level teaspoon per 6 oz. water. Heat water until briskly steaming but not yet boiling, approximately 180 to 190 degrees. Steep for 2 minutes.

We recommend that you use a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewing methods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup. This tea can be infused multiple times.

Japanese Oolong Caffeine Content

Oolong tea contains a moderate amount of caffeine, less than half as much as coffee per cup.
