Tung Ting Oolong

Tung Ting Oolong

A little blue. No, really. This is yoga for the mind, without the embarrassing leotard or spine-cracking back bends. Oolong, like green tea, is reputed to keep you skinny and young. Let’s hope it’s true.

This tea will deliver the strength of a black tea, with the aromatic, flowery flavours of a green tea.

Pure oolong tea

Dairy free, gluten free, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Made in a factory that handles nuts.

What is special about this tea?

"Stand tall, chest out, rise above those regular tea drinkers, for you have chosen a tea of champions. Oolong is a part-fermented tea which means it sits between green tea and black tea in strength and flavour. So much more than a half-way house, this tea should be savoured. Taiwan is the home of great oolong teas, and the Tung Ting mountain is where this standout oolong is produced. An complex fruity taste over a smooth, mellow, green-tea-like base. Enjoy, then tell your mates – ‘I am an oolong drinker!’ and be proud."

about teapigs

Nick and Louise started teapigs in 2006 with one aim - to get the English people drinking real tea again. They meet while working for a large tea company where they learn all about tea and drink a lot of it. And the more they learned, and the more they drank, the more they realized something important: that there is a vast world of quality teas that don't get the attention they deserve. And so the idea of teapigs was born. By quality, real tea, teapigs mean whole leaves, whole fruits, whole spices and whole flowers. Without the powdered ingredients found in most tea bags. It's all in the taste. The tea in most bags is crushed and made so that by the time it reaches the cup, almost all the flavor is gone. Teapigs deny this approach. The whole leaves, fruits, herbs, flowers and spices in teapigs teas are carefully and lovingly prepared to maintain every drop of that precious flavor.
