Zealong’s premium organic Dark Oolong tea is roasted longer to give a rich, deep taste with a hint of charcoal on the nose, yet no bitterness. The tender bud and top two leaves are tightly rolled and unfurl to create a dark, golden-brown infusion with an aroma evoking the essence of honey and toasted sesame.
Zealong's hand-picked teas offer a premium flavor and nutrient profile. Certified organic and cultivated in the renowned Waikato region on New Zealand's North Island, the colder environment forces the flavor and nutrients into the newest growth, which Zealong meticulously harvests by hand-picking only the top three leaves. These award-winning teas are free from artificial flavors, oils, or additives.
Available in loose-leaf only.
Each pack is fully traceable to the date and block it was picked. The state-of-the-art processing facilities adhere to a strict HACCP ISO22000 food safety regime, eliminating any risk of contamination and free from harmful chemicals.

There is an exceptional difference in the quality of this tea over other oolongs I have tried. I won’t be getting my tea from any where else from now on. Thanks for growing the best tea ever!
Thanks so much, Julie, for sharing your thoughts on the Dark Oolong. I absolutely love reading that the quality of the tea really stood out to you. I’ve had the incredible privilege of being at the estate for several harvest seasons and seeing firsthand what goes into crafting each tea, and it truly is amazing - especially the oolongs. The tea masters at Zealong bring generations of knowledge and experience, along with the estate’s unwavering standards for purity, and the result is a truly phenomenal tea. I’m so glad you’re loving it, and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
Best flavor, consistency and quality tea I’ve ever had. I’m a huge fan!
I love that it is organic, but also that’s it is so smooth and delicious. I have tried it iced as well. That is wonderfully refreshing on a hot day, but I usually drink it hot, even in the summer. It’s that good
Thanks so much, Marilyn! It's great to hear that you are loving the Dark Oolong. Zealong is such a unique tea company - their award-winning teas not only taste amazing, but are also grown organically and with such care. It's a rare combination in the tea world, and I'm grateful you appreciate that too. I'm just like you - I'll make iced tea for dinner, but I drink it hot all day long, even in the summer heat. You're rigth - it's that good! Thanks again for sharing your kind words, it means the world.
Very good Oolong tea. Very smooth and combined with its organic nature, it and has enjoyable smokey and toasted after taste that a good oolong should provide. I would recommend this tea and would definitely purchase again.
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review of the Dark Oolong! It’s wonderful to hear that you found it smooth, with just the right toasted and smoky notes that define a great roasted oolong. We especially appreciate your recognition of the tea’s certified organic nature—Zealong's committment to organic farming and clean processing/packaging are at the heart of everything Zealong does, and it means so much when that’s noticed and valued.
It’s been such a pleasure reading your reviews of the full oolong lineup. Thank you again for your thoughtful reflections and for being part of the Taria community!
This is my second order of Zealong from Taria and I remain very pleased with this organically grown oolong. Its earthiness and slightly smoky notes make it a perfect afternoon and evening beverage.
I anticipate being a repeat customer.
Hi Lee,
Wow—thank you so much for this wonderful review! I’m beyond thrilled that you’re loving the Dark Oolong. That rich, earthy, slightly smoky flavor is something special, isn’t it?!
It means so much to us that you’ve come back for another order, and I can’t tell you how grateful we are to have you as part of the Taria family!
