Wuyi Oolong from Zhi Tea

Wuyi Oolong

Oolong Tea by Zhi Tea

This is a tea that has become noted for its weight loss properties. That said, it is truly an enjoyable drinking tea. This rare and beautiful oolong from the Wuyi Mountains in the Fuijan Province, China, consists of medium oxidized, unrolled amber brown leaf with greenish highlights.

A sophisticated dark amber liquor reveals hints of raisins and toasted almonds. A simply outstanding tea for the health conscious.

Also known as wu-long – the real thing! Highest grade.

This is a very satisfying cup of Oolong, smooth with a rich color. Loved it.

I drink this tea because I love the way it tastes and don’t really consider the “weight loss” properties. It is full bodied, yummy and toasty. Lots of depth. One of my favorite teas, but I really like a substantial dark tea for the “winter” (I live in Texas) especially. Drink this several times a week. Organic a plus.

This tea has become a staple for me.

Like most Wuyi oolongs, it is complex, honeylike with a very harmonizing earth note, which seems to be my favorite thing about Wuyi oolongs. This Wuyi has decent leaf quality, with a nice contrast of brown and dark green leaves.

I brew this shy of boiling, or boil, and let the water cool for a minute or two. I brew my Wuyi oolongs on one minute ascending brews starting at one minute. This tea in my opinion will start loosing significant body on its’ third brew, but its’ quality is good enough for six brews, where I find that it’s body is watered out.

I take this tea often at dinner, especially if I had a greasy meal. It pairs well with Dim Sum. Delicate metabolisms can have you running to the bathroom, as with most oolongs. Overall, if you’re looking for a little more than average ORGANIC Wuyi, this is what I would recommend.

Had over four infusions with my gaiwan after having a Pearl’s Deluxe Burger. Boy did it help.

I am having this after a real long day…
