So, I’ve decided in an effort to
better understand my tea collection, I’m going to start a small blog series
(title obvious above) in order to learn more about the tea I drink and maybe
share that knowledge. This week: Oolong!
Oolong tea is the tea you get
when you go to a Chinese restaurant and they bring the pot to the table (it’s
like breadsticks to an Italian restaurant). And I personally love it!
Oolong is neither a black tea nor
a green tea. It’s called gingcha in Chinese, translating as “Clear Tea.” High
in polyphenol antioxidants, Oolong originally came from the Wuyi mountains in
the Fujian province of China.
The brand I get is Triple Leaf
Tea. I’ve had a difficult time finding a reasonably priced box of it in my area
– hopefully you don’t have that problem.
So, do you drink Oolong? Is it
your cup of tea?
I had no idea the tea they serve at Chinese restaurants was oolong. I thought it was just black tea!! I'll have to get some!
