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.

I am enjoying this tea very much. It has a unique flavor among the Oolongs and it has earned a spot in my daily line up! It is advisable to read and follow the Brewing Tips card that came in the shipping box. I have on occasion strayed from these recommendations and have returned to them to experience the optimal experience.
Hi Paul, I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying Zealong's Dark Oolong! Thanks for sharing your experience and for mentioning the brewing suggestions - I'm so glad they have been helpful for you! Thanks again and I hope Zealong continues to be part of your daily tea routine! :)
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 received this dark oolong about a month ago. I'm amazed by both the short steeping time along with the number of times that the leaves can be re-used. I also find it surprosomg that one teaspoon of leaves expands to fill my infuser over halfway. It's quite delicious, but I still prefer the bolder flavor of black pu'er tea each morning. So, I have it once a week as a delicious change.
Thanks so much, Steve, for taking the time to share this. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Dark Oolong - it really is amazing how much the leaves open up and how many infusions you can get from a single teaspoon. That expanding leaf is always fun to watch - Zealong calls that the 'oolong dance'!
I've found that Dark Oolong is a favorite for many people who enjoy a deeper, more roasted profile, but I completely understand your love for a bold black in the morning. It’s wonderful to have different teas for different moments. I’m so glad this one has earned a place in your weekly rotation. Thank you again for letting us know!
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.
