OOLONG | Taiwanese Formosa

All natural Formosa Oolong tea

This Formosa Oolong is Taiwanese which is considered to be the very best and is known to produce a leaf which requires great skill to perfect. In addition this art requires years of training. It makes for a smooth cup of tea; light, yet perfectly balanced in flavour, aroma, and hue. Named by the Portuguese explorers of the island, Formosa means “beautiful”, relating to its earthy, rustic essence and tranquil tint. As well, like all our teas, this Oolong is all natural.

Benefits of Formosa Oolong tea

It is  also high in antioxidants. Like other Oolongs, this tea also elevates energy levels and collaborates with a healthy lifestyle for weight loss. Also, Oolong is often enjoyed with meals to suppress the appetite and prevent overeating.

How to steep Formosa Oolong tea
