Our oolong
We source our teas directly from fifth-generation tea makers in Taiwan, with tea-making knowledge passed down since 1880.
We taste every tea we sell and select them in small batches, so there’s always something we’re genuinely excited to share.
The origin
Taiwan is one of the world's most important oolong-producing regions.
Its mountains, misty climate and rich soils create the conditions for growing tea with depth and variety. From high-mountain oolongs to traditional roasted teas, Taiwan has developed a tea culture all its own.
Oolong Tea 101
We know trying gongfu-style brewing and learning more about tea can feel a little intimidating. We’ve been there, and that’s why we’re preparing a Oolong Tea 101 Tea Table at our studio.
We’ll cover the basics of brewing with a gaiwan and Chinese teapot, some tea knowledge and science, how to taste and notice the differences between each brew, and how to choose the right oolong for your palate.
By the end, you’ll have more confidence brewing oolong your way and a better idea of what you like.
Very happy with the taste! Highly recommended :)
This tea is absolutely sensational and easy to prepare for a newbie like me with the Toolong guide. It’s my favourite morning ritual with grandma and her grand dog. I also love the cold brew on a hot day (could drink litres of it). I’ve waited “too long” to find my drink and this is certainly it!
I really love how easy this tea is to make! The cold brew is my favorite!
So smooth, naturally sweet and refreshing. I can see myself enjoying this all summer long!😍☀️
Thanks for coming for the tea tasting, we're glad that you found the tea you love :)
This is my new favourite drink. Especially the cold brew. It has a delicate sweetness and like zero astringency... how is that possible? I'm new to Oolong world but I'm converted! Thank you Toolong for guiding me through this journey!
So glad you love it! ❤️ A little cold brew tip: let it steep at room temp for an hour before popping it in the fridge. We find it brings out even more flavour!
This is the most incredible tea I have had to date. As a cold brew, it is a sweet refreshing tea with layers of complexity yet also tastes so clean. I’ve brewed the red oolong gongfu style and it’s also just as beautiful hot. I think this might just be my new favourite tea!
So glad you love it! A cold brew tip for you: leave it in the room temp for an hour before putting it into the fridge, it'll taste even better!
