Teappo Orchid Oolong
$34.99
Teappo's Orchid Oolong is a loose-leaf oolong tea from Taiwan made for slow, attentive sipping. Its tightly rolled leaves open into buttery, fruity and woody notes, and the flavor shifts from one infusion to the next. Oxidized to a medium level, it sits between green tea and black tea in character, with more depth than a green and a softer finish than most blacks.
Why You'll Love This Teappo Oolong
- A flavor that develops as you brew: Early steeps bring buttery, fruity notes. Later infusions turn woody and earthy, so one serving of leaves offers several different cups.
- Many steeps from one serving: The ball-rolled, semi-ball leaves unfurl gradually and hold up for roughly 5–7 infusions.
- Brew it your way: The rolled leaves work for gongfu-style sessions in a small pot or gaiwan and for simple Western-style brewing in a mug or teapot.
- Great hot, cold or with milk: Drink it plain to taste the leaf, cold brew it to bring out its fruity side, or add milk and a little sweetener for a homemade oolong milk tea.
- Single-ingredient and Taiwan-grown: This oolong contains nothing but oolong tea leaves, with no added flavorings.
