Oolong Tea

Ceylon Oolong Tea from DRUERA is a premium partially fermented white tea grown in the mountain regions of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) with a fresh, mild flavor and distinctive orange tint. Unlike Chinese oolongs, Ceylon Oolong is characterized by its delicate balance between green and black tea qualities. The tea is hand-picked and processes using traditional methods that combine withering, tossing, oxidizing, and drying. Ceylon Oolong offers a unique aroma and smooth taste with floral and fruity notes, making it distinctly different from heavily oxidized dark oolongs.

Heat water to 180-200°F (80-95°C)—do not use boiling water. Use 1-1.5 teaspoons per 6-8 oz cup or 1.5-2 teaspoons for stronger brew. Steep for 3-5 minutes depending on oxidation level. Rinse leaves with hot water first to open them and remove impurities, then discard rinse water. Oolong tea can be brewed 3-5 times—add 30-60 seconds to each subsequent steep. Each infusion reveals new flavor layers of honey, floral, and fruity notes.

DRUERA's Ceylon Oolong Tea is rich in antioxidants (polyphenols, catechins, and EGCG) that combat free radicals and support cellular health. Key benefits include regulating blood sugar and insulin levels—studies show 16% lower type 2 diabetes risk with daily consumption, boosting metabolism for weight loss, supporting heart health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, improving dental health with natural fluoride, enhancing digestive function, and promoting better sleep through L-theanine and GABA compounds. It contains moderate caffeine (30-50mg per cup) for gentle mental alertness.

Ceylon Oolong Tea contains polyphenols that activate fat-burning enzymes and boost metabolism, promoting weight loss without dietary changes. For diabetes patients, studies show that consuming 1.5 liters daily decreased blood sugar levels by up to 30% in 30 days. The polyphenols regulate insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. Those drinking 24 oz daily have 16% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Oolong tea addresses obesity, a major diabetes risk factor, making it beneficial for metabolic health and diabetes management.

DRUERA's Ceylon Oolong Tea has a fresh, mild, and delicate flavor profile with a distinctive orange tint. You'll experience subtle notes of honey, flowers, and fruits with a smooth, slightly sweet taste. Unlike darker oolongs that are earthy and malty, Ceylon Oolong is lighter and more complex—somewhere between green and black tea in character. The aroma is distinctive and aromatic. The tea is naturally sweet, so it's best enjoyed plain without additives to fully appreciate its nuanced flavor layers that reveal themselves with each successive steep.

DRUERA's Ceylon Oolong Tea leaves can be brewed 3-5 times, with quality tea sometimes providing 8+ infusions. This makes it exceptional value—one small serving yields multiple cups of tea. Simply add hot water after each cup, increasing steep time by 30-60 seconds with each infusion. Each steep reveals different flavor dimensions, so you discover new taste notes throughout the day. The ability to re-steep multiple times, combined with the premium quality, makes DRUERA's Ceylon Oolong both economical and a unique tea-drinking experience.
