Taiwan Oolong tea,wu long tea

Twaiwan oolong teas: Dong Ding Oolong ,Ali Shan High Mountain Oolong


The island of Taiwan was once known as Formosa, which explains why the teas produced there are also referred to as Formosa oolong tea,or Formosa wu long tea.

The original oolong tea plants came from China,especially Fujian province,due to limited cross-cultivation, oolong tea plants in Taiwan are very pure with only seven or eight varieties.

Nowaday Taiwan oolong tea is one of the best oolong teas in the world thanks to a mature tea culture and ideal growing conditions. The best Taiwan oolong tea is grown in the mountains of central Taiwan. Growing conditions are ideal - high mountains in a subtropical climate create the cool humid conditions that oolong tea thrives on, such as the Tianli Oolong, one of the finest and most rare oolong.

Oolong tea is fermented, as a black tea, but the fermentaion is shorter in duration, yielding a tea that is 15 to 75 percent fermented. Most Chinese oolongs are only 15 percent fermented, where Formosa oolongs are often 75 percent fermented. Nowadays, the Taiwanese are making lighter oolongs that are fermented as little as 15 percent or even less called Jade oolong and Amber oolong. Becasue of this relatively low fermentation percentage, these teas are actually pouchong teas.
