Oolong Tea: A Timeless Brew of Tradition and Health

Oolong tea traces its roots back to the Ming Dynasty of China (1368-1644), when expanding trade routes brought this unique tea style to the West. Many stories surround the origins of Oolong, with one popular theory suggesting it comes from the words "Wu Long," meaning "Black Dragon". Another tale tells of a tea maker named Wulong, who accidentally allowed the leaves to oxidize during harvest, giving rise to this distinct style. Regardless of how it was first discovered, we’re fortunate to enjoy the many benefits that Oolong has to offer today.

Oolong tea is known for its partial oxidation process, which gives it a unique blend of antioxidants not found in other teas. By capturing the thearubigins and theaflavins found in black tea, while retaining the catechins common in green tea, Oolong offers a perfect balance of bold flavor and health benefits. Studies have shown that Oolong tea can stimulate fat burning, increasing the number of calories your body burns by up to 3.4%. Additionally, it’s rich in L-theanine, an amino acid known for enhancing cognitive function, improving sleep quality, and reducing stress and anxiety.
