Oolong Tea Collection - The Artisan’s Signature, Steeped in Mystery

Oolong is a partially oxidized tea — a hybrid between green and black tea. But unlike rigid classifications, oolong offers endless variety. The oxidation level can range from 8% to 85%, allowing farmers to craft personal expressions of flavor, aroma, and texture. This makes oolong the most artisanal and unpredictable tea type.

 We curate oolongs that showcase regional mastery and distinct character:

• Oriental Princess – A floral Chinese oolong, smooth and perfumed
  
• Organic Milky Oolong – Scented only with natural milk notes, certified organic
  
• Alishan Mountain Oolong – A prized Taiwanese high-mountain tea with orchid-like notes and creamy complexity

Each tea is crafted by small farms in China and Taiwan, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The variety is not just in taste — it’s in story, spirit, and soil.

• Fujian & Guangdong, China: Misty mountains, mineral-rich soil, and centuries of tea-making tradition
  
• Alishan, Taiwan: Grown above 1,200 metres, where cool temperatures and high humidity slow leaf growth and enhance natural sweetness and fragrance

Oolong flavor profiles are diverse:

• Light oxidation yields floral, creamy, and green notes
  
• Darker oxidation produces fruity, toasted, or woody tones

Tchaba oolongs range from delicate and buttery to bold and mineral, with long-lasting aftertastes that evolve over multiple infusions.

Because no two oolongs are the same. Every batch reflects a tea master’s vision — their timing, rolling style, oxidation choice, and roast level. It’s like wine, but steeped in silence and steam. And when brewed properly, it reveals its story one sip at a time.

• Use 2–3 grams per 240 ml cup
  
• Heat water to 85–95°C
  
• Steep for 2–4 minutes, or follow Gong Fu style with shorter, repeated infusions
  Tip: Oolong is meant to be re-steeped. With every pour, the leaves unfurl like petals, revealing new layers of flavor.

For a true oolong experience, we recommend using a Gong Fu tea set. Especially with high-grade teas like Alishan Mountain Oolong, the small clay pot and tasting cups amplify the aroma, and each infusion uncovers a different mood.
