Formosa Oolong Orange Blossom is a light, delicate, brightly scented and highly refreshing Oolong tea, infused with the sweet, subtle aroma of orange blossoms.

This is a tea to lift the spirits on a soggy afternoon or refresh and revive in the heat of the dog days of summer.  With its delightful and happy fruit flavours it is perfect as a mid-afternoon energy boost.

Formosa, now called Taiwan, is the world's greatest producer of Oolong (or Wu-long) teas.  These delicious, biscuity, toasty, semi-fermented teas are half-way between black and green tea.  The leaves are bruised and exposed to the air to oxidise for a short while, then baked to arrest the process.  This produces a delicate tea but one that is full of flavour.

The Oolong character is well-suited to the soft citrus flavours of the orange blossoms.  The result is one of the most successful marriages of the tea world.
