Enchanting oolong tea

This enchanting delicacy is related to classic Chinese jasmine tea. The aroma of osmanthus is delicate and perhaps even more exciting than jasmine due to the fruity scents reminiscent of peach and apricot. This osmanthus is therefore enriched with a peach aroma, which is a perfect match.

The mild Chinese oolong is a fine base for this special aroma. Osmanthus belongs to the oleacea plant family. This plant family also includes the olive tree, jasmine, and ornamental plants such as lilac and forsythia. It is a common shrub in Chinese parks and gardens.

The production of Oolong

Tea leaves can be processed in many different ways. All types of tea are made from the leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis): green tea, black tea, oolong, etc.

Oxidation

Simply put, oxidation is the change that occurs in tea leaves due to exposure to oxygen. This changes the chemical composition of the tea leaves and their colour. These changes also produce a different flavour.

Green tea is not oxidized, whereas black tea is fully oxidized.
Oolong is partially oxidized tea that can still be very green or almost black. Many variations are possible.

Heating stops oxidation

The oxidation process occurs because of enzymes present in the tea leaves. These enzymes occur naturally in tea leaves.

Heating the enzymes prevents them from doing their job, thereby stopping oxidation. The tea can be heated in a wok, or steamed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the tea packaged?

All our loose-leaf tea is packaged in airtight (sealed) bags. The packaging, of course, includes a description of the tea, brewing instructions, and ingredients.

We package your tea with each order. This means that we create and fill the packaging to order.

How long does the tea keep?

Loose tea stores well. In its sealed packaging, the tea is at least good until the date on the package. For pure tea, this is often 2 years. For flavored tea, 1.5 years.

Sustainable packaging

To help protect the environment, we reuse as much used packaging material as possible. If boxes are still sturdy enough, we use them to pack orders. Some boxes may look a little more "used" than others. If a box is no longer sturdy enough, it is shredded and used as filling material to protect items such as porcelain and earthenware.

If a box looks damaged when it arrives, please let us know as soon as possible. Ideally, please email us a photo so we can take a look with you.

    How is tea best stored?

    Simply put: store in a cool, dry place.

    It is best to store your tea in its closed packaging at room temperature. But once it is open, you can seal the packaging tightly with, for example, a clip or clothespin. But this is neither very nice nor practical.

    It is important that as little oxygen as possible can get to your tea. So a sealable tin or jar is handy. And it looks nice.

    Light is also not good, so bags with a window or glass jars are less suitable, unless you store them in a dark cabinet.

    Delivery time

    For almost all items, the delivery time is 1 to 2 business days. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, all packages are dispatched. If an order is placed before 4:00 PM on one of those days, it will usually be delivered the same day.

    For coffee, sometimes (when the coffee still needs to be roasted) we need a little extra time. You will then receive a super fresh product. We opt for the highest quality, and that takes a little extra time.

    Pay

    You can easily pay with iDEAL, Mastercard or Visa Card with 3D Secure. Safe and reliable.

    Of course, you can also pay by manual bank transfer. Please include your order number so that we can quickly link your payment to your order.

    Always something nice at home

    Tea box

    The TeaBox is an ideal small gift for anyone who loves tea.

    For example, there is a "Thank you" TeaBox, with which you can thank someone in a fun way, and a "Congratulations" TeaBox for a birthday, exam, etc.

    In short, there is a TeaBox for every occasion.
