About Oolong Tea:

• It’s reported to improve thinking skills and to support bone and heart health, and is widely reported to help with skin allergies such as eczema.
• It has a medium amount of caffeine as compared with black tea, but still much less than coffee. It does have more than green or white tea.
• The origins of oolong tea date back almost 400 years, when it found wide usage in China.
• Individual types of Oolong tea can range from almost like a green tea to almost like a black tea, depending on the degree of oxidation during processing.
• The oolong teas offered by By the Grace of Tea contain large tea leaves that often appear somewhat rolled. When steeped, they open wide. For this reason please allow extra space in your tea infuser ball for the leaves to fully open.
• Steep Oolong tea multiple times. Some tea masters recommend up to 10 times! Each steeping will taste a bit different, but each one will be delicious! I actually prefer the 2nd or 3rd steep.

Purchase Oolong tea when you want a medium caffeine content and a pleasing and mellow flavor. Purchase Authentici(ty) when you want a clean taste without any added flavors.
