Oolong is the world's most sophisticated tea. Partially oxidized (between 30-70%), it captures the fresh energy of Green Tea and the bold depth of Black Tea.
The Fat Oxidation Catalyst
For those looking to manage their weight naturally, Oolong is a standout performer. It contains unique polymerized polyphenols that have been shown to increase metabolic rate and fat oxidation. A study in the *Journal of Nutrition* found that Oolong increased energy expenditure by up to 10%.
Wakeful Relaxation
Oolong is particularly rich in L-Theanine, providing a state of "wakeful relaxation." It’s the perfect drink for afternoon focus when you want to avoid the grogginess that follows a heavy lunch.
Did You Know?
The flavor of Oolong "shifts" depending on how long you steep it. The first steep is usually floral and honey-like, while the second and third steeps reveal woodsy, roasted notes.
A Local Innovation
While Oolong originated in China, Kenyan farmers have adapted the processing techniques to our volcanic terroir, resulting in an Oolong that is richer in minerals and more robust in flavor.
