Charcoal Baked Oolong (炭焙乌龙 – Tan Bei Oolong)
$5.90 – $56.00
Origin: Taiwan
A rare tea due to the disappearing skill of charcoal-roasting tea, our Charcoal-Baked Oolong is a prized collection hand-roasted by Master Tea Artisans who still possess this time-honored skill, which typically takes 10 years to acquire. Our Charcoal-Baked Oolong is not roasted over electric heaters. To create the perfect roast, tea leaves are plucked in spring and gently withered under the sun. At a precise. reduced level of moisture content, longan-wood charcoal is fired until it produces a consistent but low and gentle heat. The roaster stays awake to roast the leaves packed in bamboo baskets, in small batches, over the fruitwood coal. This slow, traditional roasting process takes place for 1 to 2 weeks, when the skilled roaster eventually produces an oolong that is warm and dark with a sweet chocolate scent.
Charcoal-Baked Oolong has a bold yet delicate flavor, with a toasty, nutty aroma and flavors of dried fruit. Because it is roasted over residual charcoal heat, despite the extra hours of roasting, its fruitwood charcoal aroma is soft and subtle, with its liquor possessing an intensely smooth mouthfeel.

THE WONDERFUL HEALTH BENEFITS OF OOLONG TEA
Weight Loss
Oolong tea contains enzymes that facilitate stored fat metabolism in the body that makes it a natural and gentle remedy for weight loss. It also facilitates thermogenesis or burning of dietary carbohydrates, and by calming the nervous system to decrease anxiety, which can lead to over-eating in some cases. Elevated fat burning with the use of oolong tea also helps to decrease dyslipidemia or high cholesterol levels in the blood
Healthy Skin
The powerful antioxidants in oolong tea also benefit the skin in several ways. These compounds help to remove harmful toxins in the body that damage the skin, causing wrinkles, lines, age spots, sallowness and slowed exfoliation. Oolong tea may also protect the skin from sun and cigarette smoking damage and reduce the risk of allergic skin reactions such as atopic dermatitis
Disease Prevention
Oolong tea is less oxidized than black tea and hence contains higher concentrations of potent antioxidants called polyphenols. It also contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, calcium, potassium, selenium, fluorine, magnesium and phosphorus. These nutrients help to detoxify the body, improve digestion and decrease the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes
