Oolong Tea Suppliers

Unlike different varieties of coffee, which are each produced by different coffee beans or a combination of coffee beans, green tea, black tea, and Oolong tea are all made from the same leaf. The difference is in how oxidized the leaves are. While green teas tend to have undertones of flora in them (especially green grass) and black teas can be pungent and smoky, Oolong tea has a strong and assertive taste (even bitter), but an unexpectedly sweet aftertaste.

As different wines are recommended to complement different foods, so are teas. One of the factors contributing to the popularity of Oolong tea is that it is very versatile and can be enjoyed with many different foods. In addition, Oolong tea contains antioxidants that may prevent disease and slow the process by which skin ages.

Loose Tea and Bags from Oolong Tea Suppliers
There are also many variations among different types of Oolong tea. Its flavor will depend on where it was grown, soil chemistry and weather conditions, as well as how long it was fermented. You can purchase Oolong tea from suppliers as either loose tea or in tea bags, depending on the quality of tea you want and just how discerning your palette is.

If you are a reseller looking for suppliers, Casteel Coffee offers a host of benefits for B2B clients. In addition to carrying a large selection of coffee beans from around the world, we also carry tea products from Harney and Sons and other respected tea buyers. Don't run yourself ragged purchasing your coffees and teas from several different suppliers. Casteel Coffee offers both at competitive rates.
