Description

Tun Ting Oolong Tea Taiwan Sourced from:
Taiwan

Louise the tea taster says

Oolong tea (also known as blue tea) is a part fermented tea, and tung ting, which takes its name from the mountainous region in Taiwan where it is grown is regarded by those who know about this kind of thing - us included - as one of the finest around. We’re very proud to be able to offer a genuine oolong tea, as these teas are mostly sold to the local Taiwanese at hundreds of dollars – a bit more pricey than your average cuppa, but worth every penny.

How does it taste?

Oolong tea sits between green and black. This tea will deliver the strength of a black tea, with the aromatic, flowery flavours of a green tea. Green tea is for now, but tung ting will be the next big thing.

Good if you're feeling

a little blue. No, really. This is yoga for the mind, without the embarrassing leotard or spine-cracking back bends. Oolong, like green tea, is reputed to keep you skinny and young. Let’s hope it’s true.

tung ting oolong tea

As a lover of green teas and black teas, (no milk not even in custard) a mix no way!!

Saw the range of teas for sale at Watergate Deli Chester, read the "menu" well, risked a pack of temples, just tried it at home well, gob smacked!!!! literally hit with flavours I did not think possible. The joy and delight only matched by the fact I have found a stockist 5 miles away. Thanks Teapigs

Never I thought I'd drink tea with a funny name! Love it!

I'm a standard coffee and tea drink with milk and none of that funny named tea. Or should I say I was, I wanted to cut down on my coffee and milk in take and Tung ting oolong tea is fab and has made cutting down sooo easy. I love it, no milk needed, just enjoy! Give it a go. From a recent convert to teapigs!

Ordering more!

I got a sample box including this tea and 2 little bags are just not enough! As with the other reviews it is hard to describe but its distinctive and yummy and is my favourite from the selection I tried

I'd definitely recommend it...unless there is a shortage then I'd say leave it for me!

Quite simply stunning

This tea is fantastic. It's the first Teapigs tea that I've tried but it is excellent. I was drawn in by the evocative description on the packaging and was not disappointed. It has a much more interesting flavour than green tea but still delicate enough to be drunk without milk etc. Highly recommended!

Delish!!

I have to confess that I was a bit sceptical about trying this tea after I gave the bag a wee sniff... (quite a funky smell!!)

However, I was completely sold from the first gulp! So light, refreshing and tasty- definitely a new favourite! Much lighter than a black but with more warmth and depth of flavour than a green, I can't wait til my next order arrives!! Thanks Teapigs!
