With an oxidation level of approximately 40%, Amber Oolong (Wu-Long) teas produce a liquor that is darker than the Jade Oolongs. The flavor is slightly more earthy and robust.
Steeping Suggestions

Formosa Amber is typical of the oolongs served at Chinese restaurants where I live. It has an exotic flavor and caffeine buzz. Calming and focused. The flavor is like chestnuts and honey. Of the hundreds of teas I have tried I find this one to be very sophisticated. A remarkable price for a Taiwanese oolong. A great tea for "me" time.
