Wu Long Tea

The Makings of Okuma's Wu Long Tea

Wu Long tea is a high quality brand of Oolong tea. Though all tea is produced from the same plant (Camellia Sinensis), the different types of tea are the result of different fermentation processes. Wu Long tea is closer in taste to green tea than black tea; however, Wu Long tea lacks the grassy taste of green tea.

Oolong tea leaves are usually harvested in the late spring and summer. Once tea leaves are picked from the tea plant, it regenerates and grows another cycle of leaves. The first growth is the first cycle; it has the most nutrients, the strongest taste, and the highest quality. Okuma's Wu Long tea is made only from first growth Oolong tea leaves, which is why it is superior to other Oolong teas in nutrients, taste, texture, quality, and its health benefits.

The History of Wu Long Tea

The history of Wu Long tea begins with a legend. According to this legend, Wu Long tea
was invented by accident by a man named Wu Liang. One day Wu Liang was picking tea leaves and caught sight of a deer. Abandoning his tea leaves, Wu Liang went off to the hunt. A day or two later he returned to find that his tea leaves had been oxidized by the sun. Wu Liang decided not to waste his freshly picked tea leaves and finished preparing the tea. To his surprise, this new tea had a wonderful new taste unlike any other. The tale of the tea spread and over time and came to be known as Oolong tea. Okuma was the first to yield high quality Oolong and brand it Wu Long tea.

There is no way of knowing for certain if the legend is true, but one thing is certain  Wu Long tea has a taste all its own.
