Oolong Tea

Oolong Tea

Oolong tea originates from mountainous regions of China and Taiwan. Oolong is oxidized 10-30% or 40-70%. This means oolong can be more like a green tea or more like a black tea. Distinct oolong tastes include nutty, fruity and creamy flavors. Oolong is known to help with mental acuity, weight loss, high blood pressure and more. The leaf style can be open or rolled.

There is an adage that says eventually all tea drinkers seeking superb tea will arrive at oolong. For flavor complexity and layers, we’ve certainly found this to be true.  Oolongs can often be brewed multiple times and the taste of the leaf will change with each steep.

Our Sources

Our oolong grows in the high mountain tea farms found in the Nantou region of Taiwan, the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java, and mainland China. Our oolong teas are grown and produced with the knowledge that comes with generations of expertise.

I had a friend share some of their instant golden latte mix with me and it is amazing. I suffer from really bad inflammation in my hands and this calms it down so well. It is also very delicious so I just had to get some of my own. They also sent me some stickers, a nice note and a sample. It was so sweet. My cat definitely approves. Thank you!

Best store in Montana possibly in all of the United States. I don't know. This is the first Gong Fu tea shop I've ever been to. I came in for a matcha whisk because I donated mine to a museum. Before I left a random customer who was introduced to me as a regular bought me tea. I hugged him which isn't something I normally do. But I was incredibly thankful. Then the man behind the counter gave me a free sample. I went in looking for a simple tool and left with tea and a happy spirit. I am looking forward to making it back as soon as possible! I loved it. I think it will always hold a special place in my blood pumping organ.

I've been going to Lake Missoula Tea Company for years, and recently have had the privilege of putting some of their tea in my store. The quality of the tea is fantastic, and the blends are delightful. I have also attended one of their tasting / learning events and it was great. I highly recommend their downtown store for meeting with friends, family or even just for a nice place to go and have a cup of perfectly brewed tea.
