Formosa Oolong (wu-lung) means black dragon. When the Portuguese sailors discovered Taiwan, they exclaimed, according to one legend, "Formosa," meaning beautiful. And that's exactly how this oolong, which many experts rank among the best semi-fermented teas in the world, could be described. You can look forward to a wonderfully tasty tea with a very delicate floral taste, but at the same time a good portion of caffeine. Interestingly, only 50% of the leaves are fermented. Preparing oolong tea is not at all complicated. For a true taste experience, we recommend pouring the oolong with water at a temperature of about 80 °C to avoid degrading the tea's properties.
Black Dragon - Formosa Oolong
Partially oxidized teas from Taiwan are in high demand among connoisseurs. Original varieties are produced here from the local mountain tea tree and from the Tchie Kuan-jin variety imported from Fujian in the mid-19th century. The Black Dragon of the Beautiful Island - although the title suggests that a colourful fairy tale might follow, it will be about tea again. A tea that is bright, very aromatic, fabulous. About great and quality oolong from Taiwan. Oolong or also wu-lung, as the partially oxidized teas are called, means black dragon. And the island of Taiwan was called Formosa, or Beautiful, by the Portuguese a century ago. Although the excellent oolongs are grown and produced mainly in China, the black dragon from Formosa is one of the world's best. A cup of tea made from the choicest "dragon" species is a fabulous blend of flavours and aromas, and the price is truly fabulous.

Oolong
Partially oxidised tea - the leaves must be harvested when they are fully ripe for the tea infusion to acquire its proverbial balanced flavour. Unlike other teas, the picked tea leaves are left to wilt in direct sunlight. They are then poured into large and airy rotating cylinders woven from bamboo, where they are shaken until the cell membranes on the surface of the leaves are disturbed and the tea begins to oxidize. The uniqueness of this method is that oxidation only affects the edges of the tea leaves and the rest of the intact cell structure retains the natural polyphenols. The moment the edges of the petals start to turn red, oxidation is interrupted by drying. Partially oxidised teas are dried at higher temperatures, which is reflected in their sometimes toasty taste. They are produced in China - mainly in Fuzhou, Guangdong and Taiwan.

Semi-fermented oolong green tea.
Preparation
The preparation of partially oxidised teas is not very different from black teas. The only difference is that they are not watered with boiling water. The water must be allowed to "rest" a little, ideally at 80 °C. We infuse the oolongs for three to four minutes, longer delays do not seriously affect the taste of the tea - it will be bitterer and a little stronger.
Storage
Store in a dry place.
