I Don’t Know What Kind of Oolong Tea I Like (Yet) Tasting Pack

Price:$68.00
A tea gift idea, or a little treat for yourself

This tasting pack is for those who are curious and want to try it all. We’ve brought together five distinct Taiwanese oolongs to help you explore the range of flavours oolong can offer, from creamy and floral to roasted, fruity and honeyed. Each tea has its own character, so you can discover what you love.

New to oolong? No worries.
We’ve designed the packaging with everything you need to begin your oolong journey. No scale? Simply peel a piece of the box and use it as a tea scoop. The brewing guide can also be peeled off and kept as a bookmark, so a little guidance is always close at hand.

1. Gongfu Style
| Tea-to-water ratio 6g : 100ml
Our recommended way to brew oolong: use a gaiwan or small Chinese teapot. This gives you more control over the taste, unlocking complex layers across 7–8 brews from the same leaves.

2. Western Teapot | Tea-to-water ratio 1g : 100ml
Perfect for sharing: use a standard teapot and steep for 6–8 minutes. Its generous size lets the leaves fully unfurl, giving you one smooth, comforting brew to share.

3. Mug (Grandpa Style) | Tea-to-water ratio 1g : 100ml
Perfect for a lazy afternoon: toss the leaves straight into your mug and add hot water. Start sipping after around 3 minutes as the leaves unfurl and settle at the bottom. Once you reach the lower third of your cup, simply top up with hot water and keep brewing.

When To Drink Your Tea
All oolong contains caffeine, but everyone reacts differently. We recommend enjoying your brew from morning to early afternoon, ideally after a meal.

Water Temperature

  • For ball-shaped oolong: use 100°C water, or 95°C if your kettle has temperature control.
  • For strip-shaped oolong: use slightly cooler water, around 90°C.
  • Play with the water temperature and brewing time to find the cup you love most.

For a full brewing guide, please check our Studio Journal.

"Oolong is arguably the most complex category in the beverage world. A single variety can shift from intensely floral on the nose to a deep, honeyed, and clean resonance in the throat. "

Delicious.

So glad you like it. Have you found your favourite oolong yet? We'd love to know!

With the weather warming up, here's 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!

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.

We’re still preparing, so bear with us a little longer. Join the waitlist and we’ll let you know as soon as bookings open.
