Ginseng Oolong

Ginseng Oolong Tea Description: This high-grade green oolong comes from Fujian Province, China. Unlike other balled oolong teas, Ginseng Oolong is packed with ginseng powder. The densely rolled oolong slowly relaxes to infuse the tea with a mixture of flavors. As a result it is perfect for preparing with a Gaiwan where you can steep five or six times at least. Its still great when prepared western style too! Ginseng Oolong tea yields a variety of aromas and flavors and is very aromatic and floral with hints of spice.  The licorice in our Ginseng Oolong adds a slightly sweet finish that licorice fans will love, without being overpowering. It is produced by sprinkling with ginseng and licorice root during the rolling process. Typically Ginseng Oolong is produced in both Fujian Province and Taiwan. Both regions are directly across the Taiwan Straight from each other and have historically been very close in culture, trade, and migration of tea masters.  We consider this an Adventurous tea as it's unflavored and has been a popular tea in China and Taiwan. Both regions produce excellent Ginseng Oolong though the Chinese variety tends to be a bit less expensive -- the deciding factor though is grade and there is huge variation within grades of Ginseng Oolong. This is a great tea to explore if you are looking to move beyond other oolongs and happen to enjoy green teas (though we think almost anyone will love it).
