What is an oolong tea?
Oolong teas are also from the tealeaf camellia sinensis. At Cloudwalker, we pride ourself on offering some of the finest oolong teas in the world. Sometimes spelled “wulong” it can be directly translated as the “black dragon tea.” In order to make an oolong, the leaves are dried and oxidized. It is the degree of oxidation (usually between 10% and 70%) that dictates whether an oolong tea is best explored fresh or aged. The fresh teas are lightly oxidized while the aged tealeaves are more fully oxidized. At Cloudwalker, our fresh oolong is sourced each new picking season. And our aged oolongs are all picked and aged in taiwan to ensure the qualityo f the aging process. Taiwan is known throughout Asia as one of the best places to age good tea because of its climate. Cloudwalker’s oolong teas are all picked and processed by hand on small family run tea plantations at very high altitud.
