Jade Oolong Tea is a rare and exquisite tea variety that will excite your senses. This special type of oolong tea originates from Taiwan, where it is known as Formosa Jade Oolong, sometimes referred to as Jade Dragon Tea.
The leaves are carefully harvested by hand-plucking only the most tender buds and then undergo partial oxidation to create a beautiful jade green colour.
This distinctive colour also has significance in Chinese culture; Jade is said to be the symbol of nobility, beauty, purity and grace.
Origin of Jade Oolong Tea
Jade oolong tea is grown in Taiwan’s Nantou in the Central Mountain Region, where the ideal climate and soil conditions are perfect for cultivating this special variety. It has a delicate aroma that will awaken your taste buds and can be enjoyed both hot and cold.
Tea leaves are plucked by hand and then dried in the sun before being processed. They are partially oxidised to give them their distinctive jade green colour, which requires time and skill, as well as a keen eye. The leaves are firmly rolled to bring out their flavour, then pan-fired at high temperatures to stop the oxidation process
