The History of Oolong and Wu – Yi Teas

Oolong teas can be dated back to the days of the Qing Dynasty in the Fujian province of China.

Villagers near the Wu yi area for the Provence of Fujian started to let the local wild tea ferment after picking. This caused the tea to get a deep, earthly flavour.

The villagers took some of this tea to market and found that everyone loved their new flavour of tea.

They soon started growing and farming the local wild tea and distributing it all over China.

The Wu Yi area of China is now considered to make some of the best tea in the world.

The Chinese have kept development far away from this area. Making it one of the most pollution free areas of the world.

Recently, the UN made the Wu-Yi Mountain a world heritage site. Making sure it will be protected for years to come.
