Oolong Tea: The Balance of Oxidation

Oolong tea is a partially oxidized tea, with oxidation levels ranging from 10% to 70%. Oxidation plays a key role in shaping the tea's aroma and the brightness of its flavor. Light oxidation creates fresh floral and fruity notes, while higher oxidation brings out richer, more mature fruit or honey-like aromas.

Lightly Oxidized Oolong (10%–25%): Examples like Wen Shan Baozhong and light-roast Tieguanyin showcase fresh floral and fruity scents.
Moderately Oxidized Oolong (25%–50%): Teas such as Phoenix Dan Cong and medium-roast Tieguanyin have a balanced profile, combining floral notes with hints of honey, fruit, or roasting, resulting in a complex aroma.
Heavily Oxidized Oolong (50%–70%): Classics like Da Hong Pao, Wuyi Rougui, and Oriental Beauty deliver mature fruit aromas, roasted or caramel-like notes, and a smooth, full-bodied brew.
This product includes four renowned oolong teas, all lightly roasted but with varying oxidation levels. It’s the perfect way to explore how different oxidation levels influence the flavor and aroma of oolong tea.
