Oolong tea with wild berries

The origins of oolong go back some 5000 years, and are relatively recent in the millennial history of tea. It is said to have been developed in the 17th century, using teas from Fujian, a province where tea production has never ceased, and which has acquired a fine reputation in the field (notably for its delicious Tie Guan Yin). Since then, oolongs have been used in all major Asian countries. However, one of them specializes in producing some of the best oolongs on the planet: the island of Tawan, where over 90% of production is devoted to this family of teas to which the Tawanese are particularly attached.

the fine oolong fu liang farm sku1011

Fu Liang Farm Fine Oolong Tea

Fu Liang Farm fine Oolong tea: Fu Liang Farm tea, also known as “blue tea” or “Wulong tea”, or black dragon tea, is highly prized by Chinese tea enthusiasts. The plantations of this rare tea come mainly from the Fujian region of China and Taiwan. This plantation was founded in 1980 in Taiwan by Mrs Fu, a woman with the ambition of creating an estate where she could grow and produce high quality teas. She has chosen to use traditional Oolong production methods, including the careful selection of tea leaves, the treading and fermentation process, and ageing in glass jars. Over time, the farm’s reputation grew and it became known for its unique and refined oolong teas. Today, the farm covers 12 hectares and employs over 50 people. Fu Liang Farm Oolong teas are exported to over 30 countries worldwide and have won international awards for their exceptional quality. The farm still uses the same traditional production methods, including the use of local mineral water for fermentation and ageing in glass jars. The tea leaves are carefully selected for size, shape and color before being crushed by hand. The farm is known for its light, smooth and refined teas, which offer a unique taste experience for tea lovers. This tea owes its name to its manufacturing process, a semi-oxidation of the leaves, halfway between green and black tea, which results in a bluish-green color in the cup. Oolong tea is thought to have originated in China’s Fujian province in the 17th century, before spreading throughout China and Taiwan. Today, 90% of the tea produced on the island of Taiwan is Oolong. Preparation tips: Fu Liang Farm Oolong tea is prepared in a similar way to most Chinese teas. It’s important that the water is hot, not boiling, to preserve the product (80°C). It’s important to note that this floral-scented tea can be enjoyed on its own, sweetened or as an iced tea flavored with fruits such as orange, lemon or strawberry. For a balanced, fragrant tea, we recommend 12 to 15 grams of Fu Liang Oolong Farm loose tea per liter of water.
