Semi-fermented Tea

Discover the world of semi-fermented tea, where tradition meets complexity. Semi-fermented teas, such as oolong and Raw Pu-erh (Sheng Pu-erh), have an oxidation or fermentation level that ranges from 10% to 70%, creating a balance between the lightness of green tea and the robustness of black tea. Oolong teas, with oxidation levels between 15% and 65%, are intentionally semi-oxidized to develop their unique flavors. Raw Pu-erh (Sheng Pu-erh), though processed differently, undergoes a natural fermentation process and continues to age and transform over time.

Our semi-fermented tea collection features a wide spectrum of flavors. Lightly oxidized oolong teas (15-30%) bring floral, fruity aromas, while heavily oxidized oolongs (30-65%) deliver rich, roasted, and earthy flavors. Raw Pu-erh (Sheng Pu-erh) offers a distinctive profile, starting with fresh, grassy notes and developing earthy, deep characteristics as it ages over months and years.

When you choose our Semi-fermented Tea collection, you’re not just choosing tea, you’re embracing quality and value. Our teas are sourced from the best plantations, with each leaf picked at the peak of its flavor.
