Mango Oolong Tea

WHAT IT IS The difference between regular green tea and oolong teas is the additional temperature treatment used to attain a special smoky, complex flavor. Green tea leaves are rolled, curled or twisted – and then baked, roasted and infused with the natural mango flavor.

FLAVOR NOTES The natural oxidation and roasting of oolong tea yields a complex taste that many compare to milk or cream. To create this Mango Oolong Tea, tea leaves are infused with the natural strawberry extract. This results in a subtle, fruity aroma and flavor – which becomes even more pronounced when the tea is chilled.
