99% Oxidized Purple Oolong – Bold, Rich Indonesian OolongOur bold and distinctive 99% Oxidized Purple Oolong is a wonderful tea-tasting experience. Grown in Indonesia, it's a rare treat from a region better known for black tea, and its near-complete oxidation gives it a depth and richness unlike any other oolong. The highly oxidized leaves are a deep purple color, yet they brew a thick, rich, caramel-colored liquor. The flavor is solid and complex, with notes of cinnamon, coffee, musk and amber over undertones of rich earthiness — a rare combination to find in a single tea. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItThis is a strong oolong, much bolder than lightly oxidized styles, and true enthusiasts will love its complexity. It's perfect for multiple infusions — as with any good tea, the flavors develop and become more complex with each steeping.
How to EnjoyBrew it gongfu-style or in a teapot and enjoy many infusions to discover its evolving layers. It's a satisfying alternative to coffee in the morning and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, spiced baked goods and roasted nuts. Bold, rich and wonderfully complex, 99% Oxidized Purple Oolong is a must-try for adventurous tea lovers. It's also a fascinating gift for tea explorers. |

A little steeping tipDeeply oxidized, close to a black tea with fruity sweetness. Re-steep 3–4 times.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
