Frequently Asked Questions About Oolong Tea

What is oolong tea, and why is it so unique?

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.

What makes Tchaba’s oolong collection special?

 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.

Where are Tchaba’s oolongs sourced?
  • 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
What does oolong tea taste like?

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.

What makes oolong tea feel so mystical?

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.

How should I brew oolong tea?
  • 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.
Do I need special teaware to enjoy oolong?

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.

Is oolong tea high in caffeine?

It contains a moderate caffeine level, typically 30–50 mg per 240 ml. It provides calm alertness — ideal for morning focus or afternoon reflection.

Is oolong good for health?

Yes. Oolong combines the benefits of green and black tea:

  • Supports digestion and metabolism
  • May aid in cholesterol balance
  • Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids that support heart health and focus

It’s especially valued in wellness circles for its gut-soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Is Tchaba’s oolong tea sustainable?

Absolutely. We partner with gardens that practice:

  • Sustainable cultivation on mountain terraces
  • Hand-plucking and low-intervention processing
  • Rainforest Alliance Certified sourcing where available

We also package our oolongs in plastic-free, home-compostable sachets.

Can I gift oolong tea?

Yes. Oolong is a connoisseur’s tea, and Tchaba’s refined packaging makes it perfect for thoughtful gifts. Especially Alishan Mountain Oolong, which holds a reputation similar to fine wine or vintage perfume.
