Toasted Orange Oolong

Origin and Characteristics
The primary component of Toasted Orange Oolong is the light-bodied oolong tea, which is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant. The roasting process enhances the tea’s natural flavors, imparting a toasty and slightly caramelized taste. The clean aromatics plus the addition of orange peel contributes to the fruity and floral notes that characterize this blend. These ingredients work together to create a harmonious balance between earthiness from the oolong and vibrancy from the citrus. As possible, we source oranges locally which adds to the unique flavor of the tea.

Toasted Orange Oolong has a medium caffeine level, making it suitable for those who enjoy a moderate boost without excessive stimulation.
