Cultivated in China this perfectly scented Oolong is excellent both hot and iced and like most Oolongs the leaves can be steeped more than once. A favorite among the staff and Green Market samplers, July s selection is sure to be a favorite in your house. Oolong teas taste great and are in between black and green teas in fermentation, offering some of the benefits of both black and green tea. Oolongs come in numerous varieties from several regions and make a great cup of tea. In addition to fermenting, the region that tea is grown can also effect the caffeine content.
Chinese teas tend to be higher in caffeine than Japanese teas.
The Japanese only grow green teas. Black teas offer a higher content of flavonoids, which have been found to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
