Semi-fermented black leaf tea 

The delicate peachy taste makes Hampstead Tea Oolong such a great mealtime partner. At Makaibari Estate, the leaves are part fermented so that you can see the swirls of the Green amongst the large twisted copped - Black leaves. But creating those large twisted leaves needs the skill of a master craftsman. Brimming with polyphenols, our semi-fermented Oolong is a tea of balance. Flavorful, yet mellow, it has a deliciously fruity peach finish.Manufactured with plastic-free packaging with the pouch made from Natureflex biodegradable material.

If you are looking for a new tea experience, our Oolong may be just ideal. Described as "sensational", it restores equilibrium at any time of the day. The freshly picked leaves are only partially fermented, leaving them large and flavorful. Brimming with polyphenols, our Oolong has antioxidant and health protecting properties. Flavorful, yet mellow, it has a deliciously fruity peach finish.
 
Only a small quantity of Oolong is produced each year. It is grown at Makaibari, the first biodynamic tea estate in the world, situated 3-4000 ft high up in the Himalayas. The estate is protected on all sides by lush virgin rainforests and is the home and livelihood to a community of 1700 people, a family of panthers and richly diverse wildlife.

The world has been enjoying tea for more than 5,000 years. But only since 1995 has biodynamic, fair-trade certified tea been available. That year in Hampstead, a famous London hillside village known as a breeding ground for progressive ideas, Hampstead Tea began.
The majority of our tea comes from the Makaibari estate in India’s Darjeeling province. It is the world’s first certified biodynamic estate and the last owner-managed estate in the district. Here, 66% of the acreage is undisturbed rainforest where tea grows in harmony with the area’s natural ecological system.
