Oolong means semi fermented. They are made in a similar way to black tea but are given a much shorter withering period, a light roll and then only allowed to ferment only until the edges of the leafs start to turn brown. The tea is then fired which arrests the fermenting process and captures the interesting flavours of Oolong tea. SE Chung Oolong has a shorter fermentation time than other Oolongs from Fujian province resulting in a more subtle Oolong character. This is why this tea is sought after - delicate flavour notes of a top Oolong combined with Green tea characters. 

Mild with a very slightly nutty aromatic flavour.
