What Is Oolong Tea?

Oolong tea is a traditional semi-oxidized tea that sits between green tea and black tea in processing style.

Green tea is minimally oxidized.
Black tea is fully oxidized.
Oolong tea is partially oxidized.

This controlled oxidation creates balance. You get the freshness of green tea and the depth of black tea in one cup.

27° Himalayas Best Oolong Tea is a premium loose leaf Himalayan oolong crafted with this precision.

High Elevation Himalayan Oolong from Nepal

27° Himalayas Best Oolong Tea is grown at 7,000–7,500 feet in Ilam, Nepal. High altitude slows leaf development. Slower growth enhances amino acids such as L-theanine while moderating bitterness.

This elevation produces a smoother, more refined oolong compared to many lower-grown alternatives.

This is an emerging standard of Nepal Tea excellence.

Gold Standard Craftsmanship

The leaves are withered, gently rolled, and partially oxidized to approximately 30–50%. This oxidation transforms some catechins into theaflavins while preserving fresh leaf character.

The result is a tea with:

• Floral lift
• Subtle fruit undertones
• Soft nutty depth
• Creamy mouthfeel
• Clean mineral finish

This is not a mass-market oolong. This is mountain-crafted loose leaf oolong tea.

Aroma & Appearance

Dry Leaf: Tightly rolled leaves with green-amber tones
Aroma: Orchid, light honey, toasted almond
Liquor: Clear amber-gold

Taste Experience

Aroma: Soft floral notes with ripe fruit nuance
Taste: Balanced sweetness layered with gentle nuttiness
Mouthfeel: Creamy, structured, smooth

• Partially oxidized polyphenols

• Naturally occurring caffeine

Estimated caffeine: 30–45 mg per 8 oz cup.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Iced teas

Can you make sweet/ unsweet iced teas from loose-leaf teas?

Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!

While some might call it blasphemous to add sweetener/sugar to high-quality loose-leaf teas, here in Texas, where sweet iced tea is a beloved tradition, we have been using our loose-leaf to uplift the iced tea experience.

We have tried and perfected the art of turning your favorite loose-leaf tea into a delicious iced delight.
It's time to try it for yourself. Here's how we do it:

Pro tip: Feel free to experiment with water amounts, temperature, steeping time, tea quantity, and sweetener quantity to find your perfect balance.

The Tea Mystic Says

Subtle green downy buds, mixed with tea leaves ranging in hues from raisin to light brown , release  an aroma close to dark baked apple crums when the pack is opened. This beautiful Oolong tea gives off a golden brandy luminosity when steeped, with a texture that is slightly viscous and syrupy. while in your mouth, the taste could remind you of lychee and pears while it finishes smooth, but sligtly dry with lingering juiciness afterwards leaving you a little woozy and high.

The Danfe Method

We believe that your tea experience should be completely personal. Individual taste buds are unique and there is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily bind to traditional methods but let their experience, and discovery guide them. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies. You should try different amounts of tea, steeping time, and water temperature to find the perfect taste you'll fall in love with.

Each method unlocks a different character of this tea.
Choose the ritual that suits your moment.

1. Heat 10 oz filtered water to 90–95°C (194–203°F).
2. Add 1 teaspoon (3g) of 27° Himalayas Best Oolong Tea to your mug or infuser.
3. Pour hot water over the leaves.
4. Steep for 3–4 minutes for a rich floral, fruity, deep golden cup.
5. Strain and enjoy. Add honey if desired.
Tip: Oolong can handle a second infusion—add 1–2 min extra time.

1. Add 2 teaspoons (4–5g) of 27° Himalayas Best Oolong Tea to a 16 oz jar or pitcher.
2. Pour room-temperature or cold filtered water over the leaves.
3. Seal and refrigerate for 8–12 hours (overnight works great).
4. Strain the leaves and pour over ice.
5. Enjoy the smooth, floral, fruity, deep golden cold brew—naturally sweet with low bitterness.
Tip: Cold brewing extracts less tannin, making it naturally smoother than hot brewing.

1. Brew a double-strength hot tea: heat 8 oz water to 95°C, steep 2 teaspoons of 27° Himalayas Best Oolong Tea for 4 minutes.
2. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice cubes (the ice dilutes to normal strength).
3. The floral, fruity, deep golden color deepens beautifully over ice.
4. Add lemon, honey, or simple syrup to taste.
5. Stir well and serve immediately.
Tip: Flash brewing (hot over ice) locks in bright flavors and prevents the tea from going cloudy.

2. Add 1 teaspoon of 27° Himalayas Best Oolong Tea to your mug or infuser.
3. Pour the hot water (90–95°C) over the leaves.
4. Steep for 3 minutes.

Tip: Even a single quick steep of oolong reveals beautiful floral and fruity depth.

Step 1: Warm Your Teaware
Rinse a 100–120 ml gaiwan and cups with hot water. Oolong rewards well-warmed teaware.

Step 2: Measure the Tea
Add 5g of 27° Himalayas Best Oolong Tea—oolong leaves are often larger, so this may appear to fill the gaiwan generously.

Step 3: Heat the Water
Bring water to 90–95°C (194–203°F) to reveal the tea's floral, fruity, deep golden character.

Step 4: Wake the Leaves
Pour hot water over leaves and discard after 5 seconds. This rinse opens the rolled or twisted leaves.

Step 5: First Infusion
Steep for 15–20 seconds. Pour out completely.

Step 6: Multiple Infusions
1st: 15–20 sec | 2nd: 20 sec | 3rd: 25 sec | 4th: 35 sec | 5th: 45 sec | 6th: 60 sec | 7th+: 90 sec

Step 7: Enjoy
Oolong evolves beautifully—early infusions are lighter; middle rounds peak in complexity.

Always use filtered water for the finest Himalayan tea experience.
