Frequently Asked Questions
What type of tea is August Uncommon's August Avalon: Burnt Apple Oolong Tea?
This is an oolong tea crafted from dark roasted Chinese Tieguanyin oolong, blended with Turkish apple and natural flavors. Oolong teas fall between green and black tea in oxidation, offering a complex flavor profile and a naturally warm, slightly fruity character.
Does this oolong tea have caffeine?
Yes. Oolong tea is caffeinated, typically containing 30–50mg of caffeine per 8oz cup, making it an excellent choice if you're seeking a gentle lift without the intensity of black tea or coffee.
How should I brew this blend?
Steep loose leaves in hot water (195–205°F) for 3–5 minutes. This oolong tea reveals more complexity with multiple infusions, so consider re-steeping the leaves. You can also enjoy it iced for a refreshing twist that showcases the caramel and apple notes beautifully.
