Wuyi Oolong
A rich and buttery oolong tea, lifted by caramel sweetness and subtle floral notes. This tea is skilfully crafted by masters who roast the leaves to create sumptuous autumnal flavours.
"Fabulously fragrant, almost sweetly nutty oolong from one of the “‘grand crus’” of the Chinese tea world. Knockout."
As featured in The Guardian by Fiona Beckett.
Wuyi Oolong
武夷乌龙茶
The Wuyi Mountains of Fujian province are at the heart of China's oolong tea production. Grown in mineral-rich soils, the teas produced here are abundant in flavour and complexity. There are numerous cultivars of the tea plant used to create this style of oolong, with each one offering a unique nuance of flavour, expertly teased out by the masters who produce them. This season's Wuyi Oolong is Yellow Rose (Huang Meigui), which is rich and autumnal with fragrant notes of rose and peach, and a sublime texture.

Hi Jade,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review! It's always great to hear how much customers love the taste of the Wuyi Oolong tea!
Warm regards,
JHING Customer Service Team - Roasted rich goodnessThis was a lovely batch with everything I look for in a good Wuyi - buttery and chocolatey/nutty roasted richness, lifted by floral and fruit notes. Good for multiple infusions too. A shame it is now out of stock. Here's hoping there'll be more available soon!
- A very pleasant drinkWhile I found this tea a very pleasant drink, it was not the type of tea i enjoy most, preferring Red Dragon.
...
While we are glad that you like our Red Dragon, we are sorry that you haven’t enjoyed our Wuyi Oolong as much. The Wuyi is more floral than fruity. If you wanted to try something different, maybe give Yunnan Gold a try, it is a bit different, but it is another black tea from Yunnan, but this one is very rich and chocolatey.
If you have any other questions or feedback please reach out to us on customerservices@jingtea.com - BeautifulI had lovely time that gorgeous reverberation.
- Like it.I'd say without a shadow of doubt I know nothing about tea. I thought you bought in boxes of 240 and had it with milk and sugar. Recently got introduced to Oolong teas, and the process of infusions. This is lovely. Fully recommended.
- Wuyi oolongThis is a lovely warm tea and I particularly like its smokey flavour.
- Smooth warmnessThis nice example of Shui Xian has everything you would expect from a good Wuyi oolong. The rule is multiple infusion, since it's the best way to experience the complexity of this kind of tea.The first infusion is pure warmness. The roasted flavour and the clear orange colour are very suggestive of a fireplace. it's very comforting and it envelopes your tongue in sweetness and you would not find the refreshing bitterness of fresh oolongs.Next infusions have a milder roasty taste while a subtle sweet floral note emerges slightly. This is the very beauty of this tea and it's what makes Wuyi oolong teas so surprising.
